Hi,

At present we are not a charity and are not really looking to be.

I am looking to put on an event for many people to be involved in so they can raise
money for their desired chairty.

People already have memberships with us and log in to their own profile page. 

This is the problem i am having:  We want something like a 'just giving' section
added to thier profile on our site so friends can sponsor them.  Is this possible
or do we need to be registered as a charity? 

Also, we are looking to give the membership 'free' is they can raise over a target
amount for a chaity.  Again, can we do something like that?

I have been a little vague here I know and there is a reason for that!  We are not
trying to boost our profile or anything like that, we just have a way thay could
be fantastic for raising money for charities.

 

thanks in advance!

 

Robert
