Question 1

How does easyfundraising work?

Accepted Answer

easyfundraising turns the everyday online shopping of your staff, members, volunteers, and supporters into funds for your voluntary organisation, non-profit, charity, or CIC. When they use the easyfundraising website or app to shop with leading retailers, the retailer sends your organisation a free donation at no additional cost.

Which retailers will donate to our organisation?

Accepted Answer

There are over 5,900 retailers available to shop with, including Amazon, eBay, Argos, John Lewis, Trainline, Booking.com, Currys, Aviva, M&S, Debenhams, Waitrose, and Direct Line. It means that no matter what your supporters are buying online, from travel and holidays to fashion, homewares, insurance, and groceries - they can earn free donations. Your organisation can also generate donations when making business purchases – there are over 200 business retailers like Viking, Staples, and Dell who will donate when you shop with them for tech, office supplies, business travel, and even business insurance.
