The market is mainly for small charities and they get priority in promoting you all but we support all charities and non profits.
You might be offering Christmas cards or prezzies, but anything that people would wish to buy as presents is good. That could be your online shop, E Bay Shop, Amazon wish list, sponsorship, whatever. But not just a request for donations or things people wouldn't want for Christmas, such as selling training.
I'll promote everyone via this web page and, as far as I'm able to, the weekly newsletter (to 92,000), and social media. We're also going to have a punt at pitching to the Media to pick it up.
Being included is completely free. We receive no funding from anyone for doing this.
To join the market you need to e mail me at ian@charityexcellence.co.uk with the following:
A registered charity ourselves, the CEF works for any non profit, not just charities.
Plus, 60+ policies, 8 online health checks and the huge resource base.
Quick, simple and very effective.
Find Funding, Free Help & Resources - Everything Is Free.
The inclusion of an organisation on this page does not constitute endorsement of its work or products. We do our best to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date and accurate and would never knowingly include any organisation about which we had concerns but you must carry out your own checks. If you have any concern about any, by all means let us know (ian@charityexcellence.co.uk) but for resolution of any concern or problems, you must approach them.
We are a very small charity ourselves, none of us have any commercial or other relationship with any organisation listed and we have been paid nothing by anyone for creating the Charity Christmas Market.
