We had one of our best months for Easyfundraising in July with £40.97 raised for the Trust through online purchases, practically £10 more than the previous month. A summary of these purchases is listed below but its goes to show just how much can be raised.
We don’t have access to individual breakdowns of who has contributed but anecdotally we are led to believe we have a very small number of people actively using Easyfundraising which suggests that much larger amounts can be raised if more people use it.
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 Easyfundraising Dale 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 196 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 Easyfundraising before 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.
