eBay for Charity is once again running its annual My Favourite Charity campaign,
offering prizes totalling £12,000 for the winning charities.

Throughout November and December charities are invited to encourage their supporters
to make their charity a favourite on [eBay for Charity](http://charity.ebay.co.uk/).
At the end of December, the three charities with the largest number of new favourites
will win grants from the PayPal Giving Fund:

First place: £7,000

Second place: £3,000

Third place: £2,000

You can follow your charity’s progress throughout the campaign via a [leaderboard](http://charity.ebay.co.uk/back).
Soi Dog UK, last year’s winners, are already off to a very good start.

## Why favourite charity?

The [My Favourite Charity](http://ebayfavouritecharity.org.uk/) campaign offers 
three benefits.

1. The cash prizes for charities.

2. Participating supporters are entered into a draw to win one of 10 prizes of £
250 each.

3. eBay knows that eBay users with a favourite charity are 20 times more likely 
to donate when they buy or sell. So generating more favourites is a good way to 
boost your eBay for Charity fundraising on an ongoing basis.

The competition is open to all charities with a valid PayPal Giving Fund account.
