In just over two years, UK charities have raised over £800,000 in online donations
via Charities Aid Foundation’s CharityCard site. Most donors give during out-of-
office hours – before 9am and after work, and many also give from work during lunchtime.
The average online CharityCard donation is £350 compared to the average paper CharityCard
donation of £250. The online donors don’t just give online: they explore other parts
of the CharityCard site.

CAF has found that during disaster emergency appeals the average of all CharityCard
donations made online jumps from 10% to 38%.
