Insights from eBay for Charity’s success raising
more online
Online fundraising growth: the big opportunity?
Launch of
eBay Give at
Checkout
Online fundraising is up 85% as
share of voluntary income:
- 2% in 2007/8
- 3.7% in 2010/11
www.missionfish.org.uk/research
But, UK charities are well behind retail (10% online) and US nonprofits (8%).
Give as you shop: it can work!
Analysis by Columbia Business School (2010)
Items with a donation generate
34% more sales than non-charity
equivalents.
(Not always, though)
But remember: the shoppers aren’t there to give.
Oh, and you’re supporting a good
cause.
(So, no guilt then)
The future is… “frictionless”
“Take two minutes to register your
details with us...”
No, thanks

eBay donations after registration flow removed
eBay donations with a registration process required
low friction: give at checkout schemes
Possible as online retail has:
- Lower transaction costs
- More flexible checkout tech.
Hope is that they will create a habit of giving, despite some limitations:
- Require some effort from each retailer
- Don’t (usually) enable Gift Aid
- Don’t support donor preferences, or comms
£4.75m raised for UK charities 1,401,689 donors have made 4,172,834 donations.
The future is…topical: speed, not just need
… restricted: offering control/reassurance (easily)
…personalised: responsive to users’ preferences
eBay UK: 48,281 users have nominated 70,903 favourite charities
20x more likely to give.

A word from the taxman…
Gift Aid declarations vs digital environment
To donate £3 to Women’s Aid simply
Text ACT to 84424.
• Allowing other unique identifiers
than name and address
• Simpler model declarations for
online, mobile etc
• Declarations non-specific to
charities, to enable (in theory)
sharing
• Less micro-management by
HMRC (via guidelines etc)
Discounts or vouchers for shoppers who give?
Micro-volunteering platforms…
Standard Chartered:
Volunteers can visit the GG
projects and provide
reports back.
Int’l dev charities: E: jtomlin@globalgiving.co.uk
Aegis Media:
Volunteers help nonprofits
with their PR, websites etc

Recommendations and tips from our sector specialists
35
Advocates – find them, nurture them
“after wishing one woman luck with a charity run, she started to engage with us on Twitter. In 2012 she’s planning to run the Virgin London Marathon and raise money for us with her husband and two friends. If you engage with people online, and start a good conversation they can eventually become advocates – bringing in their family and friends as supporters too.” Jack Cumming, e-Commerce Manager, AICR
36
A golden era for feedback
“The truth is, people have always been having these conversations about your organisation, but now you actually have a chance to respond to concerns and open up dialogue.” Amy Sample-Ward, NTEN
37
Attention to detail matters more than you might think
“…subtlety is a big deal, and can make a massive difference in economic performance.” Andrew Cates, SOS Children’s Village
38
Investing in engagement
“The level of workload has certainly surprised us. If you just want to use social media as a broadcasting tool then it probably doesn’t take so much time, but to make the most of it is a full-time job for us.” Steve Taylor, League Against Cruel Sports
39
A more level playing field?
When it comes to raising money through Facebook, the charities that have raised the largest amounts are pretty evenly divided between small, medium and large organisations.

Why loving social media begins at home
“Blogging for us is the right tool at the right time. The blog enables people to get real insights into homelessness, and the work we do here at Emmaus on a day-to-day basis. And very importantly for us, the blog empowers our Companions – and this is vital for a grassroots organisation.” Rosi Jack, Communications & Enterprise Support Manager at Emmaus UK
