Donate while you shop with EasyFundraising & Give As You Live

Imagine if every time you did your regular food shop, booked a holiday, or bought gifts for your loved ones, you could support Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries? With EasyFundraising and Give as You Live, that’s exactly what you can do!

These platforms partner with thousands of well-known brands like M&S, eBay, John Lewis, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Argos, Boots, booking.com, and many more, all of which have agreed to donate a percentage of your total spend to us when you shop through the EasyFundraising and Give As You Live websites or apps – with absolutely no cost to you!

How to get started

1. First, create an account with one or both platforms via the links below, and choose Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries as your chosen charity:

2. Or download the app if you’re shopping on a smartphone:

Download the EasyFundraising app – www.easyfundraising.org.uk/easyfundraising-app

Download the Give As You Live app – www.giveasyoulive.com/app

3. When you’re planning to shop online, head to the EasyFundraising or Give As You Live website or app and find your retailer.

4. Start your shopping journey from their platform, and once you complete your purchase, the retailer will donate a portion of your spend directly to Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries.

The best part? You won’t spend a penny more – these donations are covered by the retailer. Just make sure you always begin your shopping journey on their websites or apps or your donation won’t be claimed!

If you’re shopping on a laptop or computer, they also offer browser extensions, making the process quicker and easier!

Over 7,000 ways for you to raise funds

These are just some of the many well-known retailers you can shop with on the platforms…

What’s the difference between the two platforms?

While both EasyFundraising and Give As You Live share the same core idea – raising donations while you shop online – there are a few differences that might help you decide which one to use (or whether to use both!).

  1. Number of Retailers:
    Both platforms boast a huge range of retailers, but EasyFundraising currently partners with over 7,500 brands, making it slightly larger than Give As You Live in terms of retailer options.

  2. Flat-Rate vs. Percentage Donations:
    Most donations through both platforms are based on a percentage of your purchase. However, EasyFundraising also offers flat-rate donations on certain products and services, such as insurance, which could make a big difference on larger purchases.

  3. Ease of Use:
    Both platforms are very user-friendly, but Give As You Live offers a browser extension that alerts you when donations are available at participating retailers, which might make it more convenient for some people.

Can I use both?

Absolutely! Since the platforms work with slightly different retailers, using both ensures that you’re maximising the opportunities to raise funds for Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries. By signing up for both EasyFundraising and Give As You Live, you can cover more of your online shopping and generate more donations for our sanctuary.

Your shopping, our sanctuary

At Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to continue our work caring for over 300 rescued animals.
