**Bmycharity is offering a new online sponsorship service that does not charge a
monthly management fee.**

The new service provides each charity with a dedicated Web site where their supporters
can create personalised online sponsorship forms and invite friends, family and 
colleagues to make secure online credit and debit card donations.

Each site is branded for the individual charity, and can host an unlimited number
of sponsorship pages.

Bmycharity says that it is “the first online sponsorship service to eliminate monthly
fees while still offering the lowest commission rates in the UK”. As such, Bmycharity
believes that it has brought online sponsorship “within reach of even the smallest
fundraising budgets”.

Over the past three years Bmycharity has worked with leading online sponsorship 
charities such as Whizz-Kidz, Children with Leukaemia and Shelter. Managing Director
Ben Brabyn says that its service “can reduce administration costs by up to 90% and
increase Gift Aid reclaim rates by more than 350%”. The claims are based on figures
from Diabetes UK and The Giving Campaign respectively.

The service charges no monthly fees. Instead it charges 5.85% commission on donations
including all bank and card charges, and a setup fee.

Charities can login in to view reports on income received, and Bmycharity offers
them both online and telephone support.

Ben Brabyn added: “This new service brings the ease and cost-effectiveness of online
sponsorship fundraising within every professional fundraiser’s reach. And with Bmycharity
Online Sponsor, we’re helping charities save time and money with a simple, secure
and supporter-friendly service.”

As an introductory offer, the first 30 charities to sign up for the new service 
will also benefit from a discounted setup fee of only £150.
