easyfundraising.org.uk, the online charity shopping portal, announced today that it has now processed 50,000 charitable donations since its launch in October 2005.
Featuring over 400 brand name retailers, easyfundraising allows supporters of charities, voluntary groups and not for profit organisations to raise money simply by shopping online
Over 3,000 charitable groups regularly use the service and benefit from a donation of up to 15% of the purchase price every time their supporters buy online
Retailers featured on easyfundraising.org.uk include Tesco, NEXT, Amazon, M&S, DELL and PLAY.com, with more joining each month.
David Butler of easyfundraising said, 50,000 donations is a fantastic achievement and demonstrates the boundless energy and enthusiasm of people involved in the voluntary sector.
Many of the groups who use easyfundraising are small, community based organisations and their commitment to encouraging their supporters to shop and raise funds with easyfundraising is outstanding. It proves you don’t have to be a large, well known charity to harness the fundraising potential of the Internet.”
