An Easy Way to Get More Sponsors
Easyfundraising is a free platform that turns everyday online shopping into donations for your club or group. Over 8,000 retailers like Trainline, Screwfix and Tesco will donate when supporters shop via the site at no extra cost to them.
But it’s not just individuals who can help. Local businesses and members’ workplaces often buy supplies, travel, and services online. By registering with easyfundraising and choosing your cause to support, they could raise significant funds simply through their usual spending.
Start by speaking to your members, ask if their employer can help, or approach local businesses directly. You might uncover a hidden sponsor already within your close community. Click here to sign up and start raising funds today. |
