Interactive Services for Charities Forum

AIME believes the charity sector can derive significant benefits from utilising a range of Interactive technologies to maximise income generation, for engagement with stakeholders and for internal efficiencies. AIME formed the Interactive Charity Forum in July 2010 to bring together the Interactive Technology Industry and the third sector following the success of our inaugrual full day conference in May 2010.

Forum members include leading charities and charity agencies, network operators as well as service and content providers from the Interactive Services Industry.

The objective of this forum is to:

improve the effectiveness and efficiency of interactive services for Charities
enhance the reputation of the Content, Service and Network Providers in this field
provide education & information
create best practice
achieve better Industry engagement
