Although a record, this gift demonstrates that substantial gifts can be and are being made online.
Ben Brabyn, Managing Director of Bmycharity said: “We have highlighted this donation to the beneficiary charity and they have immediately initiated their major donor programme to ensure that this very generous donor is properly recognised and given the opportunity to engage with the charity’s work. This donation shows how a well-communicated online message can have immediate and dramatic results – and that donors are increasingly prepared to make large donations online.”
