How it works
Supporting PTAs and Friends Associations for over 15 years
To date more than £13.5M has been raised by over 10,000 PTAs, Friends Associations and schools through easyfundraising. They raise free funds when their school community do their normal online shopping.
Established in 2005, we are proud to work with Parentkind and support the education of young people. Take a look at how Old Swinford Hospital School Parents Association have raised more than £4,000 by clicking play.Messages from some of our PTAs, schools and supporters
We raised £1000s through easyfundraising
In our local primary school we raised £1000s through easyfundraising. Posters are up around the school and it has been promoted across all our social media channels and Year WhatsApp groups. We will also continue to ask parents to sign up at events when we are face-to-face.

easyfundraising is a no-brainer!
easyfundraising is a no-brainer, easy way to raise cash for your school. It simply raises money on any of your usual online transactions without any loss of loyalty points or complications. Whether it’s my weekly delivery from Sainsburys; buying electrical goods from Argos; some bedding from John Lewis or booking holidays at booking.com, the cash pours into my daughter’s school. Without changing any of my spending habits, I’ve raised nearly £1000!

Nursery loved their puddle suits!
Our parents, friends and staff have all been using easyfundraising. It's so simple, every time any of us shops online, we just click through easyfundraising first or use the app. Our supporters have raised £1,225 which has allowed us to buy some extra items for the children. Nursery loved their puddle suits! Definitely worth signing up.

easyfundraising is a vital source of income for us
easyfundraising is a vital source of income for us. We love it because our supporters can raise funds for us without making a donation themselves. It is surprising how quickly they add up. Every now and again we get a bigger donation and that gives us another boost. easyfundraising does exactly what it says - helps us to raise funds easily!

The potential to raise £100s of pounds a month is there
I think the potential to raise significant donations is the most surprising. With a strong recruitment strategy that targets new-starter parents, but importantly, local businesses who book a lot of travel and accommodation, the potential to raise £100s of pounds a month is there.

We've purchased interactive whiteboards, playground equipment and learning experiences
We've raised funds to enhance the experiences and facilities for children at our school. Money raised has gone to facilitate the purchase of interactive whiteboards, playground equipment and learning experiences. Register - it's easy to use, earns you money and raises awareness of fundraising for your cause!

Got a question?
easyfundraising turns the everyday online shopping of school parents into funds for your PTA. When they use the easyfundraising website or app to shop with leading retailers, the retailer sends your PTA a free donation at no additional cost.
There are over 8,000 retailers available to shop with, including Amazon, eBay, Argos, John Lewis, Trainline, Booking.com, Currys, Aviva, M&S, Debenhams, Waitrose, and Direct Line. It means that no matter what parents are buying online, from travel and holidays to fashion, homewares, insurance, and groceries - they can earn free donations.
Yes – you don’t need to be a charity to use easyfundraising.
To register your PTA with easyfundraising you will need to know:
- The name you would like your PTA to be known by on easyfundraising - try to make this unique so that parents know it's you
- The postcode - to help parents when they search for PTAs local to them
- A description - this should include who you are and what you are raising for
- Payment details – easyfundraising can pay your donations by cheque or straight into your PTA's bank account so have your details ready
There are also optional fields for:
- A logo - making your PTA unique and giving you an identity
- Charity number - if you have one.
You can come back to these optional fields later if you don't have the information to hand when you sign up
To get your fundraising off to the best possible start easyfundraising offers a completely free 1-2-1 session with one of our friendly fundraising coaches. It won't take long, and they will show you the best way to make easyfundraising work for your PTA with tailored tips, tools, and a guided tour.
Providing you have raised over £15, easyfundraising total up all the donations raised by everyone supporting your PTA every three months and send them to you by bank transfer or cheque. There is no charge for this. If your PTA hasn’t raised over £15 in the previous three months, the amount simply rolls into the next payment instead.
