**A single donor yesterday made an online donation of £20,000 through Bmycharity’s
secure online fundraising service.**

The UK-based donor gave £20,000 in a single online transaction on 20 December 2004,
setting a new record for the largest donation ever processed by Bmycharity.

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.”
