Question 1

Am I buying from the retailer or easyfundraising?

Accepted Answer

You still deal directly with each online retailer. We simply note your visit to their website and to say 'thank you' for your purchase the retailer will send a donation to your selected cause.

Question 2

Will my shopping cost me more?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. You pay exactly the same price exactly as you would if you visited each retailer's website directly.

Question 3

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We've raised millions for good causes across the UK and we're a member of the Institute of Fundraising. 100% of the retail donation displayed on the platform is passed through in its entirety to the good cause, and there are no charges whatsoever for good causes and supporters using easyfundraising. Through our agreements with retail partners easyfundraising uses between 0% and 50% of the total commission we receive to pay for the development and upkeep of our platform so that we can keep on helping the many causes that we work with. We know it's important for you to have complete confidence in us so if you have any questions, please get in touch or read what our members say about us.

Question 4

What sort of cause can use easyfundraising?

Any good cause can use easyfundraising, no matter how large or small. We are currently helping over 150,000 causes including schools and pre-schools, university students, sports teams, youth groups, religious organisations, Guides, Scouts, Brownies, individual challenges and expeditions.

Question 5

How much can I raise?

Accepted Answer

Donations vary between retailers but an average donation is 5% of your spend. Some insurance and mobile retailers pay a substantial one-off donation of up to £50! The donation amount is shown directly next to each retailer listing.
