ATMS in UK Allow for Charitable Transfers
According to this story, beginning this summer, UK residents will be able to transfer funds to 8 charities (yet to be selected) at ATM machines. The English government's hope is to increase giving. The idea is intriguing. But I wonder how it will pan out. Giving might be more direct, but will it encourage people to give? At best it might spark impulsive donations. Also, as a skeptical American, I wonder how those 8 charities will be selected? Something tells me we are 5 years or less from a scandal hitting the British papers.
