Fundraising technology conference Twitter campaign to raise funds for charity
Howard Lake | 15 May 2013 | News
A Twitter hashtag campaign is due to raise up to £250 during this Friday's Institute of Fundraising Technology Special Interest Group annual conference in London.
Fundraising technology company The Access Group and ThankQ are sponsoring tweets, offering to donate 50p to charity for every tweet that includes the hashtag #ioftech.
The company has pledged to donate a maximum of £250, while promoting the conference, from 10am to 3pm.

In addition anyone, including people not at the conference, can nominate a charity of their choice to receive the £250 gift by tweeting:
" 'name-of-the-charity gets' my vote @theaccessgroup/@thankQ_HQ #ioftech"
The winning charity will be announced at the end of the day. It will be chosen in a draw, rather than based on the most votes, as that could disadvantage smaller charities.
