Default An idea for fundraising

I've just spent several months setting up a website to help my local
church here in London, UK, raise funds to extend its work in the local
community. Then I thought that the same website could be used by my
local choral society to raise money for their funds too. My mother
asked if her local wildlife centre could use the website to raise
money and then my daughter asked why her new secondary school couldn't
also use the website to raise funds for a new art & design centre
they're building.

So now I have a website which can help any organisations raise money
for their funds, anywhere in the world. Basically, it's a huge
shopping mall (currently over 350 shops and stores) where we get a
small commission for every sale through our website, together with a
whole host of other sponsors who pay us for every unique visitor we
send them, plus a handful of search engines and price comparison
engines which pay us per search/comparison.

By encouraging people to use the website for all (or some) of their
online activities, we can create a huge charity fund. Then visitors
can claim a share of that fund every time they log in - automatically,
with each log-in being worth about 37c. Also, if someone introduces
their friends and other family members to the website, then the first
person will get a further 46c every time their friends log in (of
course, in addition to that 46c, the friends will be able to claim 37c
themselves every time they log in for their own favourite charities or
good causes).

In this way, charitable organisations, schools, churches, community
projects and any good cause anywhere in the world can use our website
to raise money for themselves, first by registering the organisation
on the website, then by encouraging all their members or supporters to
also register with us, nominating the relevant organisation as their
sponsor, and finally by further encouraging all those members and
supporters to use the website as often as they can, claiming 37c each
time they do so, and to tell all their friends about it too because
clearly, the more people we have using the website the more money we
can raise.

There are no charges for registering and no other charges at any other
time as well. If you're interested in knowing more about this idea,
either email me or log onto the website itself for more details -
