www.people4charity.com
was launched just over a year ago as a sister site to the
established freelance-services marketplace
www.people4business.com. It
offers the same high-quality professional services – at
substantially reduced rates – to charities and not-for-profit
organisations.
All sellers registered on any people4 sites have an option to
select a percentage discount on their usual hourly rate – these
discounted rates are then available to registered charities, via
www.people4charity.com
There are now over 40,000 professionals registered as sellers on
its sites, 6,800 of whom offer a charity discount ranging from 5%
to 95% off their usual hourly rates. As well as specialists in IT,
management consultancy, media, engineering and HR, you’ll find
quality professionals with specific charity skills and experience,
including mergers, charity consultancy, charity fundraising, donor
care and charity finance.
people4charity has already supplied freelance professionals to
household-name charities. Bertie Bosredon, Head of New Media at
Breast Cancer Care, said: “people4charity found us a highly
effective and skilled senior developer who completed our project
earlier than we had anticipated, exceeding our expectations and
saving us money…
“It was also a real plus point that the freelancer we used
shared our values and gave us preferential rates as a result.”
Charities benefit from lower rates and from the flexibility of
being able to buy in quality professional services on a contract
basis, as and when they need them. With all people4charity sites,
there is complete price transparency – the rates you see on the
site are exactly what you’ll pay (ex VAT) – as well as
straightforward online tools to manage the whole contracting
process from finding suitable sellers to setting up a contract and
approving their timesheets.
More and more sellers register every day, so if you can’t find
the specific skills you are looking for, simply contact info@people4charity.com and
they will do their best to track them down for you.
people4business Limited is a shareholder-owned company that
generates income from the industry-beating 10% margin that is
included in the hourly rates you see on the site. For this 10%
margin, people4charity provides the websites, marketing,
development, invoicing, credit control and a guarantee to all
sellers that they will be paid for all their people4business Ltd.
contracts – irrespective of whether or when it is paid by
buyers.
When sellers offer a discount to charities, people4charity gains
a correspondingly lower management fee. It is also committed to
returning 5% of its profits to the charities that register and use
the service.
