CAF Giving websites:

http://www.allaboutgiving.org

AllAboutGiving.org is the leading portal for tax-effective giving. It offers expert advice on the best ways to make regular or one-off gifts, leave a charitable bequest or pass on donations of shares to good causes. For the 80,000 people who hold CAF Charity Accounts, there is a personalised giving area that allows them to view their balance, top up their account and make online donations direct to the charities of their choice.

Any recognised charity can register with the portal and reach potentially thousands of donors, providing them with news and information about their work.

http://www.GiveNow.org

GiveNow.org is a major new destination for online giving and fundraising in the UK. Launched jointly by CAF and the AOL Time Warner Foundation, with support from AOL UK, the portal allows donors to make online debit and credit card donations to the charities of their choice quickly and efficiently.

For charities, GiveNow.org offers a unique opportunity to communicate to a potential audience of around 2 million people. Regardless of whether they have their own website, charities can build their online profile, publish news about their work, and collect online donations from new and existing supporters.

http://www.Efundraising.org

Efundraising.org demonstrates how UK charities can raise funds tax-effectively online, regardless of whether they have their own web presence. Charities with a website can accept secure, tax-effective debit and credit card donations by linking to a customised donation page, while charities with no website can sign up to fundraise through AllAboutGiving.org and GiveNow.org
