Over a year, just one person could raise £358 for your voluntary organisation, charity, or CIC for free without doing anything other than shopping online. Imagine what a group of people could do. And what you could buy for your organisation.

Join easyfundraising to find out. They work with over 8,000 online retailers, so your organisation can receive free unrestricted donations when anyone associated with your organisation shops online. £362 per person can be raised through those big annual one-off purchases – holidays, insurance, but let’s not forget the everyday items too. A last-minute birthday present from Etsy or a jumper from John Lewis can also earn your organisation smaller but more frequent donations.

A new year with new fundraising goals should start with a new way to raise. Sign your organisation up today:
