Raising funds online with CAF CharityCard

Howard Lake | 1 September 2000 | News

In just over two years, UK charities have raised over £800,000 in online donations via Charities Aid Foundation’s CharityCard site. Most donors give during out-of-office hours – before 9am and after work, and many also give from work during lunchtime. The average online CharityCard donation is £350 compared to the average paper CharityCard donation of £250. The online donors don’t just give online: they explore other parts of the CharityCard site.

CAF has found that during disaster emergency appeals the average of all CharityCard donations made online jumps from 10% to 38%.
