**The UK Fundraising Newswire, which features the latest news releases about fundraising,
is once again available on UK Fundraising.**

The free service lets PR staff at charities, fundraising agencies and PR agencies
publish news releases live onto UK Fundraising. The releases then become searchable
on the site, are published in RSS format, are archived on the site, and the latest
five appear on the front page.

Launched in March 2006, the [Newswire](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/newswire) has
carried over 350 news releases from 130 contributors. It is designed to help charities
and fundraising agencies ensure coverage on UK Fundraising, whether or not their
news release is used as the basis for a front page news item.

Now available as part of the redeveloped UK Fundraising, new releases are already
being added to the newswire. The new site now offers greater promotion of news releases
through RSS publication and links to social networking or bookmarking sites like
Facebook and del.icio.us. PR staff will also find the page view statistics at the
bottom of each release useful in tracking the news releases’ readership.

It is expected that more charities will choose to use the UK Fundraising Newswire
to announce:

 * new fundraising appeals
 * grants made or received
 * upcoming fundraising days/weeks
 * upcoming fundraising events
 * new fundraising appointments
 * new partnerships with corporates or other funders

To qualify for inclusion on the newswire, wews releases must be directly related
to fundraising and be written in a recognisable news release format ([see previous examples](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/newswire)).
As usual UK Fundraising reserves the right not to publish a newswire contribution:
for example, news releases that read more like commercial adverts by fundraising
companies, will probably not make the grade.

To post news releases to the UK Fundraising Newswire, contact Howard Lake at hl***@************
co.uk, indicating which organisation you represent and what kind of news releases
you would like to post.
