Edinburgh-based not-for-profit Internet firm Workwithus.org has launched a new online
fundraising service for charities throughout the UK. Charities can use it to create
a branded fundraising micro-site, allowing their fundraisers and supporters to create
a variety of fundraising resources.
Workwithus.org’s new service allows charities
to enable their supporters to set up online sponsorship pages, appeal pages, celebration
pages for events such as weddings, and in memoriam pages and similar personal fundraising
pages.

In addition, Workwithus.org say that the service includes “some of the lowest transaction
rates currently available” for credit and debit card donations, namely 1.5% (plus
VAT) and bank 1.5% for credit cards or 25p for debit cards (inc VAT).

Workwithus.org development manager, Alastair Dutton, said: “We have spent the last
year working with charities throughout the UK to develop our new service, turning
an extensive wish list into a working reality.”

Two charities that are already using the new service are the Scottish Spina Bifida
Association and Edinburgh Sick Kids Appeal.

Deborah Roe, Head of Fundraising and Events at the Scottish Spina Bifida Association,
said: “Online fundraising now plays a major role in the work of the SSBA. The new
service really helps our fundraising efforts, in particular our ‘Gordon Ramsay Buy
a Brick Appeal’ where donors can set up their own personal fundraising pages or 
donate on our very own branded fundraising microsite.”

Maureen Harrison, Director of The Edinburgh Sick Kids Friends Foundation, said: “
Workwithus.org has just been fantastic for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation. Our
supporters have found that it takes the hassle out of doing a sponsored event”.

Workwithus.org is owned and managed by 14 umbrella charities including the Scottish
Council for Voluntary Organisations, Age Concern Scotland and Citizens Advice Scotland.
For the last six years they have offered a range of online solutions; training and
advice that help organisations raise funds and communicate with their supporters
online, and manage their operations more effectively.
