Over £3 million in free, unrestricted funding is expected to be raised this autumn through funding platform easyfundraising.

If your organisation is registered with easyfundraising, you can benefit from this funding when your volunteers, trustees, and supporters shop online with retailers like Tesco, eBay, Etsy, Argos, Booking.com, trainline, M&S and 8,000 other popular online stores.

Participating retailers donate a proportion of what’s spent back to your organisation – at no cost to your organisation or your supporters.

With seasonal shopping events like Black Friday and Christmas approaching, this is a practical time to register organisation with easyfundraising. Many organisations like yours find it’s one of the easiest ways to generate additional income without asking for extra donations.

Here’s how to your share of free funding this autumn:
