Thusanang and the Charities Aid Foundation Southern Africa (CAFSA) recently concluded research on online fundraising in South Africa. Some of the findings have been distilled into a short report entitled "The pulse of online fundraising in South Africa - lessons and challenges". Some non-profit organisations (NPOs) are raising significant funds via the Internet. But it is generally hard work, with marketing, security regarding online transactions and administration being some of the challenges. And it doesn't work for all types of organisations. The full report is available at: http://www.thusanang.org.za/pdf/The_Pulse_of_Online_Fundraising_in_SA.pdf
