Did you know you can raise money for Guildford City Football Club simply by doing your normal online shopping?
It won’t cost you a penny extra.
easyfundraising partners with more than 8,000 retailers, including many of the shops and services you already use. When you shop through easyfundraising, the retailer pays a commission, and part of that commission is turned into a donation for a good cause of your choice — in this case, Guildford City Football Club.
There is no extra cost to you and no extra effort. You simply shop as normal, while helping to raise valuable funds for the club.
How does it work?
Retailers pay easyfundraising a commission because they can see that easyfundraising sent you to their website. If you go on to make a purchase, a commission is generated and easyfundraising turns that into a donation for your chosen cause.
For example, some retailers donate a percentage of what you spend. If you spend £150 on a hotel through Booking.com and the retailer is offering a 3% donation, that would generate £4.50 for Guildford City FC.
Other retailers offer a fixed donation. For example, if you take out car insurance through Confused.com via easyfundraising and the offer is a £15 donation, Guildford City would receive £15 regardless of the cost of the policy.
