1 - How Xperedon helps charities raise money.

We offer fundraising facilities to "not-for profit" organisations worldwide, via our web-site, using the Xperedon system (patents pending). Charitable organisations are showcased within our database listings and are accessible to our database of registered donors as well as the public in general. We collect cash donations that we deliver to charities selected by donors. Donations are generated in a variety of innovative ways and are collected and processed by us on behalf of the selected charitable organisations. We send these donations periodically to these charities following the deduction of a 5% service fee and any incidental bank charges and taxes if applicable.

2 - What's the added value for charities?

Broad worldwide exposure

We list international charities and attract worldwide donors. A link from our web-site to the charity's own web-site is likely to increase visitor traffic. Charities also have access to a selection of Xperedon banners which they can select from the Xperedon site enabling direct links to their profile page on our site. This in turn will lead to more donations for those charities. We also facilitate rapid response to international disasters by enabling donors to update donation instructions and we feature charities from time to time in the special Funds we create.

Level playing field

All charities, large and small, have an individual profile page with the same layout, designed to present the charity information and images in a simple, clear and attractive way.

The aim of Xperedon is that the charity database grows in response to public demand. We have pre-listed a number of charitable organisations in certain regions based on our own research and the suggestions of donors and site visitors.

Any charity can apply for inclusion on the Xperedon platform and any site visitor can suggest that their favourite causes are included.

Our dedicated research team is permanently adding new beneficiaries into what we aim to make the world's most effective, well-researched and definitive charity database.

Zero investment for charities

Competing in the online world is a technical and costly challenge. Xperedon provides a no-cost, globally accessible platform that allows donors from all over the world to support your organisation.

The technical platform that we use means that we can collect even very small donations online in a way that would not otherwise be feasible or cost effective for charities to collect individually.

Xperedon invests heavily in promoting its platform via Search Engine Optimisation and a variety of other means. Association with Xperedon means that your organisation has a much higher chance of visibility on the internet. Our revenue is entirely contingent on us raising money for you.

As our donation system includes monthly donations, Xperedon charities are largely able to estimate revenues based on previous months' donations

Flexibility

Charities can request us to add, change or replace text or images in their profile page. At any time a charity can ask to be de-listed from our database.

Participation

Xperedon has provided pre-formatted "banner links" (click here) that link to our website homepage, and 3 types of automatic banners that link directly to any listed charity. These can be used by charities to directly promote their page on Xperedon and can be embedded into any website or blogging system. Facebook and Twitter links are also attached to all charity profile pages allowing any site visitor to share any page directly within social networks.

Donations and usage reports

Charities can obtain donation data on request. Donors and Charities can have access to donation data for tax related purposes.

3 - How it works

a. Charity enrolment

Charities are listed on the Xperedon web-site based on the company's own data mining, donors' suggestions, or charities express requests. Most not-for-profit organisations can be included in our listings, provided that they have a record of charitable activity, a web-site, are accredited (for those countries where accreditation is required) or have a recognised quality label. We will not list charities with political purposes or dubious activities. We may also reject listing of Charities suggested by Donors or by charities themselves if we think that they are not suitable. Equally we may de-list any charity that for any reason we consider no longer suitable for inclusion.

Before contributions received from donors are forwarded by Xperedon to a particular charity for the first time, we may conduct additional due diligence in order to conform with applicable legislation and our own standards of acceptance.

b. Charity profile page

We compile each charity's page on our web-site based on an identical protocol. All data and images contained in that page are based on content from the charity's own web-site. All data and material collected and presented in the charity profile page remains the property and/or the copyright of the charity and are used exclusively by us for the promotion of that charity. Charities may request corrections or adjustments of their webpage on Xperedon's site at any time. If you want to request a change to your web-page click here.

c. Fees, donations and payments to charities

We do not charge charities for inclusion in our listings. We make a charge of 5% (plus transaction charges and any applicable Value Added taxes (VAT), on any money that we collect. We deduct this fee from the proceeds we raise for a charity but only where we are permitted by the recipient charity to do so on an ongoing basis.

As soon as we start to receive cash contributions from donors for a newly listed charity, we contact the charity, seeking communication of the charity's bank account, and where applicable, additional information on the charity's tax status, credentials and standing.

The aggregated donations in respect of each charity are usually effected on the last working day of the month following the month during which contributions were received by us from donors. If combined donations are not meaningful, we may delay sending the funds until the sum is greater, therefore reducing bank charges.

d. Communicating with Xperedon

In order for Xperedon to process any donations received on a charity's behalf that charity needs to provide us its banking details and VAT or sales tax status (exempt/non-exempt) when requested. Xperedon's collection of donations on a charity's behalf is subject to the terms & conditions accessible here. When a charity sends us its banking references, we will assume that it has accepted these terms and conditions.

Charities are encouraged to contact us (here) and to request their inclusion in Xperedon's listings, to correct, add or replace the content of their profile page.

e. Charities opt-out

If a charity wishes to opt-out from our listings it may do so at any time by sending us an email stating that they wish to be removed. We'll take the necessary steps to confirm that the request came from an authorised source, and will remove the charity from our listings in the following few days.

Whenever a charity elects to opt-out it will received all donations collected but not yet remitted, and normal fees will be charged. If a charity opts-out before it has received its first payment, all monies raised for that charity will be remitted in full, and without the deduction of Xperedon's fee. Xperedon reserves the right to refuse re-enrolment of a charity that has previously opted out.

Xperedon will inform any donors that have selected to make donations to a charity that has been de-listed so they can change their account settings accordingly.
