The agency has already been asked by a number of charities to run campaigns throughout 2004, including The British Heart Foundation, Tommy’s, Greenpeace and the RSPB. The Dialog Group is an international group of companies offering specialist fundraising services to the charity sector. Based in Oxford, England, but with offices across Austria, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, the Group is formed from nine organisations: DataDialog Communications, DialogDirect Fundraising Austria, DialogueDirect Fundraising USA, DialogueDirect Fundraising UK, Face2Face Fundraising UK, Face2Face Fundraising Ireland, Integrity Recruitment, NTT Fundraising and now Keystone Fundraising UK. It employs over 500 people across its companies. * **[Action Planning shares documents on Futurebuilders launch](https://fundraising.co.uk/2004/05/19/action-planning-shares-documents-futurebuilders-launch/)**( 19 May 2004) * **[Abbey seeks charity applications for £100,000 in Camden area](https://fundraising.co.uk/2004/05/27/abbey-seeks-charity-applications-100000-camden-area/)**( 27 May 2004) * **[Charity Commission announces Wales office team](https://fundraising.co.uk/2004/06/15/charity-commission-announces-wales-office-team/)**( 15 June 2004)
