Easy Fund Raising

Raising money for the DLI Museum Friends through your on-line purchases

For the online shoppers amongst us, there’s now an easy way for you to shop as normal and at the same time raise funds for the DLI Museum Friends using www.easyfundraising.org.uk. Once you have registered see how below) every time you make an on-line purchase from over 2,000 well-known retailers, including Amazon, M&S, Expedia, eBay and many more, the retailer from whom you have made a purchase makes a donation to the DLI Museum Friends.

If you’re sceptical, don’t be – This scheme is a winner and has been recommended by Col Tony George, one of our DLI Museum Friends, who tells me that the administrator and trustee of another small charity he knows of uses www.easyfundraising.org.uk and has raised over £900 for her Trust in less than a year.

We have set up a DLI Museum Friends Account under www.easyfundraising.org.uk and all that is required is for people to register when they go on-line to make a purchase.  Once you’ve registered we will start raising funds through your purchases – AND THE COST OF YOUR PURCHASES WILL BE THE SAME AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A SIMPLE ON-LINE TRANSACTION..

It’s easy to become a fundraiser for the DLI Museum Friends.  Just follow these straightforward instructions:

1. Visit www.easyfundraising.org.uk
2. left click on Find a Cause
3. Enter DLI Museum Friends in the search box and click search
4. When our name comes up, click Support next to our listing and then register your personal details, then click Register
5. When you next want to shop online, just go to the retailer you want and shop as normal. If this retailer is one of those supporting this scheme you will begin to accumulate contributions for the DLI Museum Friends.

Please encourage as many of your family and friends as possible to support DLI Museum Friends.  This way the amount contributed by Easy Fundraising will quickly add up.

If you wish you can add www.easyfundraising.org.uk to your 'Favourites' to make it even easier.

It doesn’t cost you anything to shop online with easyfundraising and you can even save money with special offers and voucher codes. We’ll push this way of supporting the DLI Museum Friends through our own channels, such as the website but of course feel free to encourage your friends and family to support the DLI Museum Friends in this way too, especially in the run-up to Christmas.

There is also a search engine function, like Google, which works in a similar way: www.easysearch.org.uk. Search for and select DLI Museum Friends as 'your cause', add this site as one of your home pages (as you might already do with Google) and each time you search you'll raise roughly 5p for the Museum. It also provides a weekly running total so you can see how much we're raising.

If you have any questions, get back to me and I'll try to help but otherwise just start shopping/searching!

I very much hope you are prepared to give this a go. It seems a particularly painless way of raising money for the Friends and if we are able to raise significant amounts of funding we will really be helping the DLI Museum.
