easyfundraising takes the hassle out of fundraising by providing you with a FREE shopping directory for your supporters to use when they shop online.

Some of the UK's best-known retailers are participating in the easyfundraising programme and as soon as your Charity, Trust, Organisation, Sports Club/Team, School, Community Group or good cause is listed on our site, every time your supporters shop simply by using the links provided you will raise funds.

Internet shopping is becoming increasingly more popular and now accounts for a massive 10% of the UK's total retail spend (set to DOUBLE by 2010 - source IMRG).  More than 10m homes now have Broadband access, and 38% of Internet users have shopped online more than 10 times in the last twelve months. An estimated 860m parcels will be shipped to Britain's 26m Internet customers this year, with each shopper spending an average of £1600 online. If typical, one in every two of your supporters now shops online.

easyfundraising provides you with an additional income stream but without your supporters having to make extra donations or contributions. They simply shop online as they would normally.

Our service is quick to set-up, simple to use and takes minimal time and effort to administer. It's also completely FREE - both for you and your supporters. All you have to do is inform your supporters about our site and encourage them to use it whenever they shop online.

How does it work?
Whenever your supporters 'click-through' to any retailer's website from the easyfundraising site and then make proceed to make any purchase, each participating retailer donates a percentage of the cost of their order, but at no extra cost to the purchaser. Donations range from 0.5 - 15% of the purchase price, or with some categories such as Insurance, a cash value. The purchaser shops online as normal and does not pay a penny extra for their transactions.

Why do retailers make free donations?
It seems generous, but with the invention of the Internet retailer's overheads have greatly reduced. Online there's no shop, heating, electricity, rates, shop-fitting, salesperson, and so on. Many retailer are more than happy to help support good causes when a new 'online customer' is introduced to them.

What will it cost our members & supporters to use/join?
Nothing. There are no joining fees or monthly subscriptions and they can use our site as little or as often as they like to raise funds for you.

Revenue potential
The amount you can raise depends on what is purchased - each product has a different donation associated with it. For example a new mobile phone may generate approx £15, a motor insurance policy £35, a new CD or DVD 2% of it's value. Research shows that for every 25 people who actively use this type of service, approx £500 per annum (or more) can be raised for your organisation.

Higher donations
As more organisations use us we are commanding higher donations from retailers. Soon we could be paying £20 per mobile, £45 per motor insurance policy, 4% per CD or DVD - or more. Any additional revenue will be re-distributed back to our members, so all organisations/charities will benefit from their 'indirect' involvement with one another and from the 'collective buying power' of the group.
