Hi,
Does anyone know the cheapest way to collect money online for donation to a registered charity?

A colleague of mine has a website which supports the charity "Cash for Kids" and at present he collects money via cash/cheque payments. He would like to do this via some electronic means to minimise handling. He is looking for the cheapest way to do this to avoid the donations being reduced too much by transaction fees. Ideally the service would also handle the gift aid side of things.

Any ideas?
Cheers,
Craig.

Yup, JustGiving seems to be the standard method, was used to collect for Yorkshire Air Ambulance when Richard Hammond crashed the rocket car, recently closed at almost a quarter of a million quid!

Hi guys,
Yes we have seen that one. Unfortunately the charity in question isn't registered with JustGiving. It is without doubt a pukka charity and it would seem sensible to register with JustGiving but as I understand it they have no plans to do so.

I'll suggest to my mate that he asks Cash For Kids why they are not registered with JustGiving and see if he can encourage them to do so. Seems the obvious way forward to me.

Thanks,
Craig.
