Easy Fundraising
Do you shop online? Well now there’s a way you can raise money for Age Concern Exeter by shopping at your favourite shops.
EasyFundraising.org.uk have teamed up with big retailers to raise money for charities such as ourselves. It doesn’t cost you anything
If you ALREADY shop online, why not help Age Concern Exeter, at no extra cost, from purchases you would make anyway.
Here’s how it works:
This is a FREE service where you can shop with your favourite online stores and at no extra cost and raise funds for any charity. You still shop directly with each retailer as you would normally, but simply by using the links from EasyFundraising’s site first, each purchase you make will generate a cashback donation to the cause you wish to support.
For example, spend £25 with WH Smith and 3.5% will be donated. You will have raised £0.88, at no extra cost to your purchase. Make any purchase from Amazon and 2.5% will be donated. Insure your car with Direct Line and raise £35.00, or purchase a mobile phone from O2 and earn £17.50, and so on.
You can shop with 2000+ Brand Name retailers and to raise funds you just use the links from the EasyFundraising site first - it's that simple!
Why do retailers support your fundraising?
It seems very generous, but when you buy online the cost to the retailer is much lower. As there's no shop, salesperson, heating, electricity, rates, not even the cost of the bag to put your goods in, retailers are more than happy to help good causes when new online customers are introduced to them via our website. Please note that Age Concern Exeter receives 100% of the donation. E.g. the donation rate for M&S is 5% of all spend, so we will receive 5p for every £1 spent.
Will I pay anything extra?
No. You pay the same prices exactly as if you visited each retailer's website directly. Using this service will not cost you a penny more than you would pay normally.
How much can I raise?
Up to 15% of every purchase is donated, depending on which retailer you select and what you buy. The exact donation that will be paid is displayed directly next to each retailer listing. With some categories such as mobile phones and insurance there is a cash value. If a retailer offers more than one donation, or if there is any special information about the retailer, please click the image
Am I dealing with the retailer or with easyfundraising?
You still deal directly with each retailer. EasyFundraising simply record your visit to their website and reward Age Concern Exeter if you make any purchases.
Save money
Many retailers give exclusive 'Internet-only' discounts, special offers and even money saving 'eVouchers' to our members, so as well as raising funds, you can also use our site to save money.
What next?
The service is easy to use and it's completely FREE. To start please Register so they know who you support. Then just remember to use them the next time you shop online!
