irn fundraise **CHARITY

An online site which helps to fundraise for charity is offering no fees for donors.

The Telecom Foundation has purchased the online site 'givealittle' and has wiped the five percent administration fee.

Givealittle founder Nathalie Whitaker says that's a great move.

"I think what we have with givealittle is an opportunity to develop an awareness for the website, a place where Kiwi donors can feel 100 percent certain that what they give gets through to the cause that they're wanting to support."

In less than four years 'givealittle' has raised more than two million donations for a variety of causes such as the Christchurch earthquake, the Cancer Society's Relay for Life and Samoa's tsunami.
