Easyfundraising is a free, sustainable and very easy way to receive funding for your organisation from something your supporters, volunteers and community are doing already – shopping online!
How does easyfundraising work?
easyfundraising partner with over 8,500 leading retailers who will all donate money to your organisation when your supporters shop online with them. Everyone’s everyday favourite retailers are involved, including eBay, Argos, Boots, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Moonpig, Trainline, John Lewis, M&S, Just Eat, and thousands more.
Every 3 months you’ll receive the funds your supporters have raised for you and you can spend it on whatever you need - buy supplies and equipment, improve your facilities or simply put it towards running costs.
Here's an example:
Your volunteer Chris is taking his family on a day out by train. Instead of visiting the Trainline website, Chris heads to easyfundraising’s website first and then clicks on the Trainline link. easyfundraising directs Chris to Trainline, where he books his tickets. Because Chris started at easyfundraising first, your organisation receives a free donation directly from Trainline, at no extra cost to Chris.
