Lisa Harris Marketing

Marketing Analyst and Executive Assistant to the CEO

This is an opportunity to work in a small and dynamic start-up environment and to really make a difference in the launch of a new website that will support grassroots charitable organisations across the UK.

Localgiving.com is a new online solution that is setting out to change the face of local philanthropy, initially in the UK and eventually worldwide. The company is based in Holborn, London.

It will strengthen local communities by using internet technology to empower local charities to be effective and sustainable. Localgiving.com has been described by The Policy Exchange, a UK Think Tank, as “a unique and significant step forward in the use of the web for philanthropy.” The plan is to ultimately build the largest online community of local charities and volunteer organisations and connect them with a whole new set of donors.

Every charity that appears on Localgiving.com has been vetted by their local Community Foundation in a process that has been approved by the UK’s Charity Commission. Both shareholders of Localgiving.com are registered charities, but it is run as a business and for the good of the community it serves.

The site is already live in eight test Community Foundations across the UK, 15 more are due to go live in the next three months, and it plans to be nationwide before the end of 2010. Currently the Localgiving.com team consists of nine people.
