Charities such as Macmillan have embraced the Internet to help them launch fund raising campaigns. Sites such as Facebook with their JustGiving app have been instrumental in promoting sponsorship for sporting events such as the marathon, coffee mornings and nights in where friends are encouraged to donate. Some companies have taken this a step further by introducing a nominate element such as the ice bucket challenge where friends nominated other friends to pour a bucket of iced water over their heads and donate to charitable causes. The end result has been a rise in donations and in awareness about the charity.
Charities looking to follow in their footsteps are upgrading their office Internet from broadband to faster fibre connectivity to allow them to run online campaigns more effectively. Leased lines are usually too expensive for charitable trusts however new fibre products offer dedicated bandwidth with a business-grade service level agreement and come in much cheaper than traditional leased circuits with a faster installation time. Charities can run online campaigns without worrying about their Internet connection slowing down or dropping out.
