Looking for a simple fundraising option to help your community organisation weather the financial storm? 

When you register your organisation with  easyfundraising, 8,000 retailers including eBay, John Lewis, Tesco, Booking.com, M&S, Asda, Screwfix, Waitrose, Argos, Moonpig, Boots, Sainsbury’s and the Trainline will donate money to you.

How it works: Whenever your volunteers, staff or other supporters buy something online, the retailer will send your organisation either a flat monetary amount or a percentage of what is spent without it costing the supporter anything extra.

24% of people shop online twice a week now so this is a simple way for your supporter network to raise money for your organisation during the cost of living crisis.

Here’s an example: Let’s say you have a volunteer called Chris who is is taking his family on a day out by train. Instead of visiting the Trainline website, Chris heads to easyfundraising’s website first and clicks on the Trainline link. easyfundraising directs Chris to Trainline, where he books his tickets. Because Chris started at easyfundraising, you get a free donation directly from Trainline, at no extra cost to him.

The benefits:

• Completely free to register and use – and trusted by 200,000 causes already
• Open to voluntary organisations of all shapes and sizes – you don’t need to be a charity.
• The funds you raise class as unrestricted funds so you can use your donations as you wish.

All types of community organisations can receive this funding – it just needs to be registered with easyfundraising.
