We recently received a cheque from Easyfundraising for £106.11 which covered the first quarter of this year.
If you’ve never used Easyfundraising before, this is how it works. You register with Easyfundraising with Dale Trust as your chosen charity. Then you use the EasyfundraisingDale Trust link before searching for your online purchases, and the retailer will make a donation back to the Trust. Sometimes it can be as small as a couple of pence, but sometimes it can be several pounds. And the beauty of it is that it doesn’t cost you a single penny more than what you would have paid anyway.
And that’s allowed us to receive cheques like our most recent one, but it could be so much. We had close to 450 members last year but we have just 195 people signed up through Easyfundraising. There is potential for this to bring in thousands of pound to the Dale Trust if our members and Dale Supporters got into the habit of using Easyfundraisingbefore every purchase.
There are thousands of companies associated through Easyfundraising, and all household names too. Whether you are shopping, booking a holiday, changing insurance, getting a new phone etc Pretty much anything involving money online is covered.
