Charity Digital (formerly tt-exchange Programme)

Overview

Charity Technology Trust (CTT) is a charity and social enterprise with a mission to demonstrate how the effective use of technology can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of charities and voluntary organisations.

Partners with CTT include Ellipsis Media and Frontwire, two leading email marketing companies, RSM 2000 Ltd. a major payment processing organisation and Cisco Systems and Microsoft Inc. with whom they collaborate to offer donated technology products through their innovative technology donation portal Charity Digital.

The programme enables eligible charities to gain access to donated technology products.

Administration Fee

The Programme charges an administrative fee for each donation request processed. The fee is to cover the cost of administering the donation programme.

Whilst the administrative fees vary, charities will still make savings of between 92-96% on typical retail prices.

Fees ensure that the Programme can continue to offer donated products as efficiently as possible, at the lowest possible cost.
