As part of our commitment to providing you with useful funding advice, we’d like to let you know about easyfundraising. It’s a free, sustainable and very easy way to receive funding for your organisation all year round from something you, your volunteers, staff, supporters and wider 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.
It’s free to register and use and is open to community organisations of all shapes and sizes – you don’t need to be a charity
Every three months you’ll receive the funds and it’s unrestricted funding so 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.
