**Microdonations service Ploink! has partnered with its first guest match-funder.
Online payments specialist CardSave Community is matching the first £250 donated
during the month of November to The Nathan Timothy Foundation.**

John Quinn, the charity's Director of Engagement said: "We were thrilled to learn
we had been voted Charity of the Month. We must say thank you to the wonderful people
at [CardSave](http://www.cardsavecommunity.com) for providing the match funds! Their
generosity will help us support wellbeing of up to 40 children, some of whom may
be being bullied, lacking in confidence or have low self-esteem."

To date, Ploink!, akin to an online version of the charity collection tin, has provided
the match funding itself. Founder Marc Simpson explained: "with the site's recent
relaunch, we felt it was the perfect time to offer companies a fun and effective
way of exercising their corporate social responsibility".

The site lists over 450 charities which can receive microdonations from the public.

Cardsave Community will be followed by other companies which have already agreed
to be guest match-funding providers.
