A Twitter hashtag campaign is due to raise up to £250 during this Friday's Institute
of Fundraising Technology Special Interest Group annual conference in London.

Fundraising technology company [The Access Group](http://www.theaccessgroup.com)
and ThankQ are sponsoring tweets, offering to donate 50p to charity for every tweet
that includes the hashtag #ioftech.

The company has pledged to donate a maximum of £250, while promoting the conference,
from 10am to 3pm.

In addition anyone, including people not at the conference, can nominate a charity
of their choice to receive the £250 gift by tweeting:

" 'name-of-the-charity gets' my vote @theaccessgroup/@thankQ_HQ #ioftech"

The winning charity will be announced at the end of the day. It will be chosen in
a draw, rather than based on the most votes, as that could disadvantage smaller 
charities.
