The most stress-free way of raising extra income Suzanne Dobson - CEO, Tourettes Action
Why us? We ll let our customers answer that... We have seen a sharp increase in online donations since registering with Charity Checkout. It has proven to be the most stress-free way of raising extra income, and is far easier than requesting cash or cheques from our donors. Suzanne Dobson CEO, Tourettes Action For a small charity, taking the plunge into online giving can feel like a huge step, but Charity Checkout made it very easy for us. They listened to our needs and were understanding and flexible. With Charity Checkout, it feels very much like a partnership. Annie Vickers The Harbour Project
Our donations have increased by 600% Alex Smith - CEO & Harrison's Dad, Harrison's Fund
Our customers It integrates fully into our site including automatic Gift Aid and so allows us to keep donors on our own website. Before we started using them, our analytics showed that people would disappear once they clicked from our site into another to finalise their donation. Our stats now show that we are keeping the user with us after donation. I think donors trust the process more because they re donating directly to us. And, since we ve brought in a Direct Debit option using their system our donations have increased by 600%. As seen in The Guardian Alex Smith CEO & Harrison s Dad, Harrison s Fund
