Fund-raiser:Colliers International in Dublin is today launching "Everyone Gives", a eight-day social giving campaign which is running in 60 countries. Participants make a small donation – such as €5 – to a charity of their choice, tell five friends and invite each of them to tell five more. "I think of it as a giving tree," explains Doug Frye, president and CEO of Colliers International, which is the founding sponsor. "One donation becomes give, five become 25 and 25 can become hundreds. You track your giving tree and your friends' giving tree on the Everyone Gives website."

The 75 charities already registered include Fields of Life, Focus Ireland, Barrettstown and Irish Cancer Society.
