Bmycharity to expand by recruiting professional fundraisers
Howard Lake | 18 July 2005 | News
Online fundraising service provider Bmycharity has begun a recruitment drive to attract professional fundraisers to join the team and help client charities increase online income and cut administrative costs.
The online fundraising and sponsorship company, which has raised more than £5 million in the five years since its launch, has emailed all its charity contacts inviting applications and referrals.
Business development and fundraising support are the two top recruiting priorities for Bmycharity.

The company is using its wide network of contacts to source potential applicants. A case of Champagne, or a donation of equivalent value to charity, is on offer to anyone referring a successful candidate.
Ben Brabyn, Managing Director of Bmycharity, said: “We’re recruiting exclusively from within the charity sector to ensure that the needs and priorities of professional fundraising always come first. Our business is growing fast and we are the only profitable online fundraising service provider in the UK.”
Bmycharity is looking for fundraisers who are familiar with the fundraising environment, and who understand the fundraising process and the role and benefits of online fundraising, and communication skills.
The company has doubled its number of charity clients in the past year.
