Bmycharity blog: Welcome to our first site sponsor

We're delighted to welcome Interactive Investor - www.iii.co.uk - as the first major corporate sponsor of Bmycharity.

In addition to sponsoring the Bmycharity online fundraising service, Interactive Investor will encourage its 1.6 million registered users to use Bmycharity for their fundraising activity.

Tomas Carruthers, Chairman and CEO of Interactive Investor said:

“Interactive Investor offers independent and transparent tools to help people solve their financial needs. We’re delighted to be the first sponsors of Bmycharity and are proud to be associating with an organisation that’s delivering a service to ensure the full value of charitable donations gets to the charity, avoiding unnecessary administration charges.”

We’re delighted that Interactive Investor is coming aboard as our first major corporate sponsor - and we know Interactive Investor will benefit in several ways. The response to our commission-free service has been fantastic and we’re looking forward to helping Interactive Investor’s 1.6 million users to fundraise more cost-effectively.

Bmycharity’s commission-free fundraising model enables charities to benefit from free online fundraising while at the same time providing corporate supporters with an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility. It also provides a way to add value to charity of the year partnerships, and Bmycharity is in discussions with both charities and corporates wishing to get involved.

Bmycharity switched to a commission free service in October to help charities save money and maximise the donations they receive. Since then hundreds of charities have requested to register with Bmycharity.
