Oxfam is once again finding that donors are giving more online than via the telephone.
According to SocietyGuardian, more than 10% of the £100,000 given to Oxfam’s Afghanistan
emergency appeal was donated online, more than twice the amount given by the telephone.

 

 

 

 

The response to the Goma volcano appeal confirmed this trend with £16,500 being 
donated online in two days, three times as much as was donated via the telephone.

 

 

 

 

This trend is not new. In June 2001 UK Fundraisng [reported](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/news/2001/06/index.html#70)
that Oxfam had been surprised to note that more was given online to the February
Indian earthquake appeal than was given via the telephone.
