Unlock Unrestricted Funding for Your Organisation Through Everyday Online Shopping
We are pleased to share a valuable opportunity for our member organisations seeking sustainable, unrestricted funding. Through easyfundraising, your organisation can receive financial support generated from routine online purchases made by your staff, volunteers, supporters, and wider community.
What Is easyfundraising?
easyfundraising is a free-to-use platform that collaborates with over 8,500 well-known retailers—including Tesco, eBay, Argos, Boots, John Lewis, Just Eat, and Trainline—to provide donations to community organisations like yours. When individuals shop online via the easyfundraising website, a portion of their spend is donated to the organisation they support, at no additional cost to them.
These donations are classified as unrestricted funding, meaning your organisation can allocate them wherever they are most needed—whether for operational costs, equipment, supplies, or service improvements.
How It Works
Your volunteer Chris is taking his family on a day out by train. Instead of visiting the Trainline website, Chris heads to easyfundraising’s website first and then clicks on the Trainline link. easyfundraising directs Chris to Trainline, where he books his tickets. Because Chris started at easyfundraising first, your organisation receives a free donation directly from Trainline, at no extra cost to Chris.
