We also provide full caging facilities or just direct debit & credit card facilities where required, and our new fundraising website, sponsor.ie, provides an on-line fundraising tool with no annual fee.

In 2011 we launched GiftCall - a new home telephone service that provides the public with the opportunity to use a proportion of the money they would spend anyway on telephone calls to help really good causes at no extra cost to them or you. GiftCall harnesses the consumer spend and embraces the current economic climate whilst creating a valuable, recurring income stream for charities, at no cost to your organisation. By providing a free fundraising service to their favourite cause, GiftCall users really will make a good call every time.

For small or medium sized charities that do not have a fundraising department, we also offer a comprehensive fundraising service, providing charities with a cost-effective means of ‘outsourcing’ their fundraising.
