Abstract

The article discusses the advantage of donating online to U.S. charities. According to the seventh annual survey of online fund raising conducted by the periodical "The Chronicle of Philanthropy," electronic gifts to the 167 organizations topped $911.9 million in 2005. The sums of money donated online were used to aid survivors of the Indian Ocean tsunamis and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. A few charities are taking tentative steps to test other technologies including text messaging and online audio broadcasts.
