" Your charity can create a FREE profile on two key giving portals
GiveNow.org (online credit/debit card giving site for any recognised UK
charity) and AllAboutGiving.org (the online giving site for CAF Charity
Account or Give As You Earn donors) exposing your cause to millions of
potential new supporters."

No recommendation implied, but I use CAF to make tax-free donations to
charities. I'd guess she might need the charity she's working for to set
up a special appeal for her project, or something. Worth looking into,
anyway.

HTH,
Alex.
