Hello,

I know you’re a trustee for [CHARITY NAME] so I thought

you’d like to hear about a new online fundraising service for

UK–registered charities. It’s called MyDonate

(www.bt.com/mydonate) and it’s run by BT to increase the

amount of money going to good causes.

Did you know that when people fundraise for charities

through other websites, it’s very likely that a small

percentage of each donation goes towards website

administration costs?

That doesn’t happen on MyDonate. BT absorbs these costs,

thereby ensuring that every penny raised through its

MyDonate service goes to charity. The only exception is any

small credit or debit card charge made by the donor’s card

issuer.

Another great benefit for [CHARITY NAME ] in using

MyDonate is that you don’t pay any set-up fee, subscription

fee or commission to use the service.

Can I ask you to talk to your fellow trustees about signing up

on MyDonate as soon as possible? Until [CHARITY NAME] is

registered, people can’t fundraise for you through the

website.

The registration process is really easy – just go to

www.bt.com/mydonate, select ‘for charities’ and then

‘register your charity’. It only takes five to ten minutes.

You’ll then need to complete forms for banking and collecting

Gift Aid. When these have been processed, BT can activate

[CHARITY NAME] account and fundraisers and donors can

start raising more money for you.

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,

[YOUR NAME]
