**International philanthropy experts Chapel & York are waiving their normal fees
in order to speed up matching donors’ fund with charities that need funding urgently
amid the coronavirus crisis.**

The company has launched an “[emergency affiliate membership](https://chapel-york.com/emergency-affiliate-memberships/)”
in each of its foundations around the world, waiving membership and evaluation fees.
This emergency programme will accelerate the process through which charitable organisations
can receive urgent funding. It should also “give donors confidence that their gifts
are received and used quickly and efficiently”. 

 

 

 

Donors who wish to support an organisation internationally during these times have
the “confidence that their donations will be received as quickly and effectively
as possible.”

 

 

 

The free emergency memberships will end on 30 June 2020. The foundations, as charities
themselves, retain 2% of all donations.

 

 

 

Chapel & York manages [charitable foundations](https://chapel-york.com/family-of-foundations/)
in the UK, USA, Netherlands, Singapore and Hong Kong.

 

 

 

Managing Director Nancy Bikson said: “Working closely with the fundraising and charity
sectors, we’ve seen a significant lag in getting resources where they are needed.
We are trying to be responsive to that need.”

 

 

 

She added: “If this would help you or a charity you know of, or help a philanthropist
or donor get funds to their chosen cause, [please get in touch](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/04/01/coronavirus-chapel-york-help-match-international-donors-with-charities/em*****************@*********rk.com)!”
