If fundraising is always on your to-do, or even wish list, here’s one way to raise money easily all year round without applying for grants, organising events or even asking for donations.
Over 2,000 rescues are using online fundraising platform easyfundraising. It’s a free and very easy way to raise money from something you, your volunteers and wider community are doing already – shopping online!
How does easyfundraising work?
easyfundraising partner with over 8,000 leading retailers who will donate money to your rescue when your supporters shop online with them. Everyone’s everyday favourite retailers are involved, including eBay, Argos, Boots, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Moonpig, Trainline, John Lewis, M&S, Just Eat, and thousands more. There are also animal healthcare providers like Pets at Home, Pet Planet, Petplan, Zooplus, and many, many more.
Here’s an example:
- Your volunteer Chris is planning to book a train ticket. Instead of visiting the Trainline website, Chris heads to easyfundraising’s website first and clicks on the Trainline link.
- easyfundraising sends Chris to Trainline, where he books his tickets as normal.
- Because Chris started at easyfundraising, your rescue gets a free donation directly from Trainline, at no extra cost to Chris.
What do other rescues say?
Rescues across the UK have raised over £4.4m, which they have used to maintain their facilities, buy supplies and equipment, and provide a better experience for the animals in their care.
Cats Protection Strathspey has raised over £1,800 through easyfundraising. Branch Coordinator Peter says, “It is well worth doing – money to your branch for nothing. Highly recommended.”
Greyhound Trust Humber say: “The money raised through easyfundraising has helped to fund the daily care of our retired greyhounds, contributing towards food and vet bills and bedding costs. It’s such a simple, straight forward, yet hugely effective way to raise money for your cause.”

We have committed to re-investing any monies we raise this way to continue to support our members.
