Since it launched in 2002, over £500,000 has been donated online at GiveNow.org 
to over 1,000 charities.
GiveNow.org, the online giving site set up by Charities
Aid Foundation and The AOL Time Warner Foundation, and supported by AOL UK, has 
benefited charities large and small.

According to CAF, it “has particularly benefited small charities and charitable 
trusts which do not have the time or resources to develop their own online donation
service”. In addition, it generates income for larger charities and fundraising 
appeals too. For exaple, Comic Relief, raised over £12,000 through GiveNow.org on
11 March 2005 as part of its Red Nose Day event.

Martin Gill, Comic Relief’s Head of New Media, said: “While the bulk of our online
donations come through our site rednoseday.com, we are keen to be as accessible 
as possible and GiveNow.org has proved to be a valuable additional fundraising channel
for us.”
