**Charity Choice is opening up its online giving platform to all UK registered charities
and will allow them all to accept online donations at no charge. Third party transaction
fees will still apply, namely card processing fees and a 10p WorldPay charge.**

Charity Choice, which has been publishing and providing services to UK charities
for 25 years, will let charities create a small section on CharityChoice.co.uk where
they can publish news, events and images and seek donations. The site is an online
directory of charities.

Previously Charity Choice charged an annual subscription of £89 + VAT for charities
wishing to use the online donation facility and there was a 2% administration fee
on all donations processed.

From now on the company will not charge any commission on donations through the 
site. It even gives supporters the option to pay the third party card charges and
transaction fees. There is a also premium package available which offers a more 
customisable microsite at £89 per year.

“Charity Choice is committed to giving charities a place where they can raise funds,
connect with supporters and receive help in a number of ways” said Tanya Noronha,
Publisher, Charity Choice.

The online donations facility used to be handled by the Co-operative Bank but Charity
Choice took it over in January 2012. As a result it can absorb the costs of processing
the payments and collecting Gift Aid.

Charity Choice is working with the Institute of Fundraising with aim of encouraging
small charities in particular to make the most of online giving.
