Over a year, just one person could raise £358 for a voluntary organisation, charity, or CIC for free without doing anything other than shopping online.
The online platform easyfundraising turns mundane bills and online purchases into free unrestricted funding that organisations can use to help pay for whatever they need.
If that’s what just one person can do, what can a group of people do?
Growth of online shopping
In the United Kingdom (UK), over 80 percent of the population makes e-commerce purchases, or to put it in other words, over four in five UK consumers are digital buyers.*
There are over 8,100 retailers who are ready to give free donations for causes across a wide range of sectors including groceries, travel, home and tech, fashion and beauty, finance, insurance, utilities, electricals, home and garden and even entertainment!
Missing out on free donations
Historically Blue Apple has raised close to £1,500 from easyfundraising but in recent times the donations have declined, probably due to technology changes. For example, more people now are using their phones or tablets to make online purchases and may not have updated the browser extension software to include the nudge that easyfundraising provides to people to remind them to ensure that each sale generates a donation for Blue Apple. They may not know that easyfundraising now has a mobile app to make things even simpler.
Anyone can join in this easy way to donate and at a time when small charities are facing hard economic times, every penny counts.
Shop at over 8,100 shops and sites
Raising free donations when you shop online couldn’t be easier! You’ll find big name retailers like John Lewis, Amazon, Tesco, Currys, Asda, Iceland, eBay and Apple, all ready to help you raise more for Blue Apple when you shop with them.
