Charitable-giving bank accounts could increase giving by �1bn - Civil Society - Fundraising - News - providing news and in-depth coverage of charities, voluntary organisations and not-for-profits: "Introducing charitable-giving accounts into high street banks could increase giving by up to �1bn, the Philanthropy Review has suggested today.

The Review’s feasibility study into charity bank accounts, released this afternoon, found that there is appetite for the accounts among the public and among organisations that would be – and are – involved in creating charitable giving accounts. Such accounts involve donors putting money in a specific bank account with the purpose of giving that money away, and would likely involve some tax benefit."
