Is this what the headline in Fundraising.co.uk, 24th October should have read?

For any campaign to hit the £100,000 in just a few days is fantastic and shows the power of online giving facilities.

But whether the charity is the British Humanist Association or Alpha International or any other charity, can we all unite to say that it’s such a shame that possibly £6000 or more of any fundraising total of around £100,000 plus Gift Aid is unlikely to hit the charity’s coffers?

Relating to the “Atheist bus campaign”, (http://www.fundraising.co.uk/blog/2008/10/22/atheist-bus-campaign-enjoys-record-day-justgiving#comment-36950 ) Simon Doggett, Justgiving’s User Champion, highlights that “a £2k donation has just has tipped http://bit.ly/4yI9qY over £100k, so now the legendary Steve in OZ can go to bed.” (http://twitter.com/simondoggett/statuses/973799417 )
