Grants on-line started charging users this month for access to its information, as [reported](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/news/2002/01/index.html#fees) earlier. Now both J4B and [Access Funds](http://www.leadhound.com/click3.php?id=6761&bid=17124) have announced paid-for e-mail notification services.         J4B will continue to remain “completely free to use for companies wanting to see what support is available to them” but they will soon be “restricting the number of repeat searches that can be made without charge.”         Access Funds has announced that it will provide a tailored e-mail alert service providing up-to-date funding information. Subscribers can choose to receive news in as many of the site’s 31 categories. This e-mail alert will launch on 1 February and will cost £40 per annum for voluntary/community groups and £50 per annum for all others. The Web site will continue to be free to access.         Visit [j4b](http://www.j4b.co.uk) and Access Funds.     * **[ICFM IT Special Interest Group debate](https://fundraising.co.uk/2002/01/18/icfm-it-special-interest-group-debate/)**( 18 January 2002) * **[CTT creates online community raffle for Shell](https://fundraising.co.uk/2002/01/18/ctt-creates-online-community-raffle-shell/)**( 18 January 2002) * **[Nude fundraising calendars now international](https://fundraising.co.uk/2002/01/18/nude-fundraising-calendars-now-international/)**( 18 January 2002)
