The problem we have is that the process is very bureacratic, with so many hoops to skip over. It is offputting, particularly for minority organisations who are stressed out and lack capacity or resource to get professional expertise to help us in setting up. We keep getting our papers sent back for not completing properly etc. It takes to long and is not at all a simple process.

Everyclick and easysearch are for use to search the web and fundraise! I use easysearch because I find it easy truly :-) There is a tab also and I go in easyfundraising. Google searches just the website. If you want google to search the web go to easysearch and bling one penny in your tin. No a dilemma; it's a mad fundraising machine!
