Setting Up Your EasyFundraising Account
Did you know that when you buy anything online – from your weekly shop to your annual holiday – you could be raising free donations for our Club with EasyFundraising – and it won’t cost you a penny?
Here’s a video to show how easy it is.
But first… set up your EasyFundraising account
Click on this referral link to go directly to our cause. By using this link to join, we will get a bonus donation when you complete your sign up.
At the time of writing, this is the page you will see if you haven’t already got an EasyFundraising account. Notice the green panel identifies that you have chosen to support Overton Photographic Club.
Your focus should fall next on to the cerise ‘Continue with Email’ box, which is what you’ll click next. All the following steps are covered in the walkthrough below, which starts from a different screen. If you see this screen, you are not using the referral link, so please start again!
Click on the cerise ‘Continue with Email’ button, fill in the form and create your account.
That’s it! You’re all set up. But you can also set up a Donation Reminder at this stage.
If you say YES to the Donation Reminder
Whenever you are on a website that makes donations via EasyFundraising, the Donation Reminder will open a small pop-up that will tell you the site donates and asks you if you’d like to activate the donation. Simply click the activate button, or wait a few seconds and the alert will disappear.
Once you have the Donation Reminder on your web browser bar (the ‘e’ icon) you’ll need to click on it and sign in with your EasyFundraising email and password.
Saying ‘Yes’ to the Donation Reminder makes things so much easier as you don’t have to remember to do anything else. And if you don’t like it, you can delete it later.
Setting up the Donation Reminder will put an icon – EasyFundraising’s teal and magenta ‘e’ – in to the top bar of your web browser. You’ll need to click this ‘e’ logo and sign in to your EasyFundrasing account to activate the reminder.
Remember EasyFundraising every time you shop!
Using the donation reminder means you don’t have to remember, simply click the pop-up that you’ll see when a donation is available on a site you’re visiting.
If you don’t have the reminder, that’s OK! All you need to do is always start your online shopping at the EasyFundraising website, log in to your account, and then search for the retailer you intend to buy from.
If that retailer is in the EasyFundraising programme, a list of available donations will appear. You click on the relevant button and the retailer’s website will open up.
Please remember that the donation is only paid if you transacted in the same session that you started from EasyFundraising. i.e. if you put something in your basket and come back later, that will not count.
