What makes us different?

We’ve been working with Parentkind exclusively to offer members a new fundraising service. We are the first platform to support PTAs with a FREE all in one service and unlike other fundraising platforms we don’t charge a commission fee, set up fee or monthly charges on donations you receive – we want PTAs to get all the benefits of fundraising in one place.

Parentkind

"You have told us that you wanted a cost-effective way to fundraise online. After 18 months of development work with our partner easyfundraising, Parentkind is delighted to launch this new platform for our members. As well as being a one-stop-shop for retailer and event fund raising and managing donations, this is also one of the cheapest platforms out there! So now your PTA community can raise even more money to supercharge our children’s education."

Michelle Doyle Wildman, Acting CEO, Parentkind

PTA Chair

"The new ways to fundraise from easyfundraising will help us get more parents involved in our PTA community. It's great to have all of our fundraising activity all in one place. It's really going to help us raise more."

Rachel, PTA Chair

Fundraise

Our fundraising pages allow parents to set up their very own page to raise money for the PTA. Whether it’s a parachute jump, a sponsored silence or even a gruelling marathon, they can raise donations by asking friends and family to sponsor them, and we send the donations directly to your PTA.

Frequently asked questions

Since 2005 easyfundraising has helped thousands of Parentkind PTAs to raise free funds through its shopping platform. Parents and other supporters can raise free donations for the PTA when they shop online with over 3,600 retailers.

easyfundraising and Parentkind have been working together to develop additional value for members. We are excited to announce that member PTAs will now have access to two other ways to raise money plus the option to upgrade to a new look PTA page with your own content, images and fundraising total. Your new look page allows you to really tell the story of your school, why fundraising is important and show parents all the ways they can support you.

You can raise funds in 3 ways with easyfundraising

  1. Shop & Raise – you can raise money for your PTA each time you shop online through easyfundraising.org.uk. It’s a completely free way to raise a donation for your PTA
  2. Donate - supporters can make a one-off or monthly donation of any amount they choose with a credit or debit card in support of your project.
  3. Fundraising Pages - supporters who participate in sponsored events or challenges to raise money can now set up a fundraising page in support of their school eg a sponsored skydive to raise money for your school.

There are 5 simple steps to registering for easyfundraising

  1. Firstly, nominate an easyfundraising Cause Administrator for your PTA who will be responsible for setting up the PTA on easyfundraising. That person will need to create an account with easyfundraising
  2. The Cause Administrator will need to provide some basic info about your PTA such as the name, and address of the PTA/school.
  3. The next step is to submit your payment information to make sure that donations reach you correctly. This is typically the bank account details for your PTA (it needs to be a UK bank account in the name of the PTA). You’ll also need to provide details of someone who will be responsible for funds raised including their name, address and date of birth. This can be the Chair or Treasurer for example. It does not necessarily need to be the Cause Administrator.
  4. It can take up to 48 hours for easyfundraising to verify these details and once they have, the new functions will become available.
  5. You can then access the new Page Builder tool - this is your chance to get across why your PTA need support and what you are raising for. You can include images to really bring your cause story to life; we’ll give you plenty of tips

The Cause Administrator will need to submit information about your PTA. This is because easyfundraising needs certain information from your PTA in order to allow donations through credit and debit cards. So, before you start, make sure you have access to the following info:

Your school logo
Your school address
Bank/payment details
Registration details for the Charity Commission and HMRC

easyfundraising will not charge you a fee for setting up your PTA on the platform. The only fee involved in the process is the fee applied to donations that are processed by our payment services provider, Stripe, who charge 1.4% + 20p per donation

The easyfundraising team are on hand to help with any questions you might have. Just email them at support@easyfundraising.org.uk and they’ll be happy to help.

Enter 000000 if you do not have access to the HMRC number and you will be able to continue.
