**A new website that enables people and businesses to offer services and donate 
their fees to charity is looking for more charities to get involved.**

Launched by non-profit organisation the Wonderful Organisation, [Wonderful.org](https://wonderful.org/)
works as a classified listings website, enabling visitors to search and book a service
online. However, when a booking is made through the Wonderful website, 100% of the
payment is passed to charity, with all of the site’s operating costs covered by 
philanthropic businesses and organisations.

Payments for services are split 50/50 between a participating charity chosen by 
the customer at the point of purchase and one selected by the service provider when
listing their service. Charities receive payments on a quarterly basis, and Gift
Aid provision is due to be added with the next release.

Wonderful is looking for a mixture of local, national, and international charities
to get involved. Charities involved at launch include [Cancer Research UK](http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/),
[The Donna Louise Trust](http://www.donnalouisetrust.org/), and [South Powys Youth Music](https://www.facebook.com/South-Powys-Youth-Music-Cerddoriaeth-Ieuenctid-De-Powys-154113897506/).

To become involved, charities can ask to be added to the site at [https://wonderful.org/charity-signup](https://wonderful.org/charity-signup).

Kieron James, founder of Wonderful, said:

> “The Wonderful Organisation has been created to allow people to give a little 
> time doing things they enjoy and in which they are skilled, trained or experienced
> and we are absolutely committed to every single penny going to charity: no money
> goes to Wonderful and our guiding principle is that everybody working for the 
> organisation must do so on a pro-bono basis.”
