Support The Base Through Easyfundraising
With the festive season well underway, we wanted to share a simple way that you could help The Base charity make a bit more money this year, whilst simply doing your regular online shopping.
If you ever buy from retailers such as Etsy, NotOnTheHighStreet, Tesco or Amazon (to name just a few), you could get The Base more donations without spending an extra penny.
It might sound too good to be true, but there’s no catch - it’s all made possible by Easyfundraising!
What is Easyfundraising?
Easyfundraising is an online platform that is supported by 1000s of online retailers. When you shop online with a participating store, a percentage of your purchase will automatically be donated to your chosen charity – such as The Base!
The platform is free and simple to use. Basically, you sign up, shop as usual, and your charity receives the donations.
How to Join Easyfundraising
Getting started with Easyfundraising is really straightforward. Here’s how to get involved:
- Sign Up: First, create an account on the Easyfundraising website or app - it only takes a couple of minutes.
- Choose a Charity: During the sign-up process, you’ll be prompted to select a charity. We’d love it if you chose to support The Base Greenham!
- Shop Online: Once you’re signed up, you can download the browser extension, or shop directly through the Easyfundraising website. Whenever you shop at any of the 7,000+ participating retailers (including stores like Amazon, eBay, John Lewis, and many more), a small percentage of what you spend will automatically be donated to your chosen charity.
Why Sign Up?
There are many reasons why signing up for Easyfundraising is a great way to help The Base as a charity:
1. It Costs You Nothing
The best part about Easyfundraising is that it doesn’t cost you anything. You still pay the same price for your purchases as you would if you were shopping directly from the shop’s website.
2. You Can Raise Funds While Shopping
Whether you’re doing your holiday food shop, buying presents or restocking your craft cupboard, Easyfundraising offers a great way to make those purchases work harder.
3. There’s No Extra Effort Required
Signing up for Easyfundraising is quick, and once you’re set up, there’s very little effort involved. You don’t need to go out of your way to raise funds – if you download the Easyfundraising browser extension during set up, you’ll be automatically alerted when visiting a participating shop online.
Get Started Today
Whether you’re doing your food shop for the holiday season or getting some art supplies for your next craft project, we would really appreciate if you’d consider supporting The Base through the Easyfundraising platform.
The Base is a charity is focused on bringing the benefits of the visual arts – including an increased sense of wellbeing – to the local community. For a better idea of how your donations could help our work - if your online purchase comes to a total of £50, and the retailer offers a 2.5% donation, The Base will receive £1.25; this could go towards supplies for our art workshops – such as paintbrushes or pencils.
