**A charity fundraising platform that sees 100% of donations go directly to the 
charities involved goes live this month.**

 

[Wonderful.org](http://www.wonderful.org), launched by Kieron James, uses the strapline‘
Don’t Just Give… Be Wonderful’, and will not charge charities or take any deductions.
It will also be free from card processing charges, the first £1m of which [Nexbridge](https://nexbridge.co.uk/),
the telecommunications company co-founded by James, will pay. After the first million
pounds of fundraising activity, transaction fees and all other costs will continue
to be met by corporate sponsors.

Each month, the website transfers all funds raised through the activities of fundraisers
to charities’ bank accounts, making no deductions, and charities currently listed
on the site include Cancer Research UK, [Dogs Trust](https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/)
and [Mind](http://www.mind.org.uk/).
