How it works

We turn daily online shopping into every day magic!

It's simple - every time your staff, volunteers and families shop online, retailers give a percentage of what they spend to your setting. This gives you a free and easy way to raise free funds for anything that your setting needs.

easyfundraising partners with over 7,500 online retailers who want to give back, transforming ordinary online shopping into money for good causes.

Everything you need to know about easyfundraising

easyfundraising turns the everyday online shopping of your staff, parents and their friends & family into funds for your setting. When they use the easyfundraising website or app to shop with leading retailers, the retailer sends a free donation at no additional cost.


There are over 8,000 retailers available to shop with, including Amazon, eBay, Argos, John Lewis, Trainline, M&S, 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.
