easyfundraising estimates that over £3 million will be generated for registered good causes this autumn, simply through everyday online shopping. With major retail events like Black Friday and Christmas approaching, it’s a great time to explore how your organisation can benefit.

 

What is easyfundraising?

easyfundraising is a free platform that enables your supporters—whether they’re volunteers, staff, trustees, or community members—to raise funds for your organisation while they shop online. Retailers like eBay, Tesco, Etsy, Argos, M&S, and over 8,000 others donate a percentage of each purchase made through the easyfundraising website or app.

To date, more than £63 million has been raised for UK causes, with a significant portion generated between October and December.
