UK Fundraising has added a new service to allow news releases about fundraising 
to be added instantly to the website. The service is available to fundraising PR
agencies, charity PR staff, and PR staff from fundraising agencies.
The new service
ensures inclusion on UK Fundraising of fundraising-related news releases, irrespective
of whether we actually cover them as a news story or not.

It has been developed using an open source blog tool, so becomes UK Fundraising’s
fourth blog, and its first multi-author blog.

 

 

Registration is required to use the newswire service. After approval from the moderator,
which can take a few minutes or hours, news releases can be published live into 
the site.

 

 

The top five news headlines on the newswire also appear on the front page of UK 
Fundraising, underneath the five current news items, about 60 minutes after they
are posted.

 

 

All news releases are automatically distributed in RSS format, meaning they can 
get picked up on other blogs very quickly, on blog search engines and even on other
sites that publish the “feed”. Indeed, UK Fundraising encourages other sites to 
carry this feed on its pages: if you do so, do let us know.

 

 

In due course there will be a fee to agencies and for-profit companies to use the
service, but we shall not be charging charities. Meanwhile the tool is available
at no charge to explore and test.
