NFPSynergy, the only specialist research consultantcy for nonprofit organizations in the UK, wants to hear from your organization for the next Virtual Promise report.  Over the last seven years, Virtual Promise has provided a unique insight into the use of the internet by charities in the UK.

With growing numbers of participants every year and readers from around the globe, we're told it's the only way charity professionals can compare and benchmark their new media activity, priorities and investment.

Robert Tolmach talks to us about how Changing the Present hopes to give non-profits a chunk of the $250 billion US gift market, and why giving charitable gifts on Facebook is much more rewarding than throwing sheep.

Browsing the web for news, I came across this story about charities in the UK:

It comes from a conference sponsored by British non-profiteers. Notable quotes include:

"We are entering an age of participative media where anybody with access to a computer has the potential to contribute in a unique and valuable way," Dame Suzi Leather, chair of the Charity Commission. "The challenge for charities is to harness this potential and channel it into genuine social change and community action on the ground."
