Cashback site for Schools/Charity

IanHowland

Hi there,

I am the secretary of my daughters pre-school and I have suggested that they look into cashback sites. I use topcashback and heard that there were sites that paid the money to schools. The pre-school is a registered charity.

I have found one called www.easyfundraising.org.uk but was wondering if anyone had heard/used any others or found this one OK.

Thanks :cool:

our school PTA has used easyfundraising for about 18 months now - and we've had a couple of cheques from them, but not for very much. But then we haven't actually got a very responsive parent base - getting blood out of a stone springs to mind, even for getting feedback on things like what we should do with any money we raise. However, I can say that easyfundraising has a useful online monitoring programme and they send weekly updates to the administrators too. I can't comment on how they compare with any others.

Have you tried Yellow Moon? It' a great craft catalogue aimed at children. Special editions come out at christmas and easter so the children can make thier own decorations and cards and much more. You can up to 25% of sales from the craft catalogue. I always buy something. Parents order from the book and it's delivered straight to them so no messing around with sorting out orders. Not sure how it works from your side but worth looking into. We get a catalogue form school every so often, so it must be worth doing. Also, once you've ordered something you are on their mailing list so you get a catalogue delivered to your house aswell and as long as you put the school code in the order box the comission will still go to the school.

There is one called schoolfunds which is basically a click through site where the school earns money to then spend at any of the stores on the site. It shard work though getting parents to support it even though it costs them nothing. Good luck.

Thanks guys,

I think I will give easyfundraisinga go. The hard part is always getting the parents to use it.

We do use YellowMoon and it has been resonably successful. I ordered some things from it myself.

Thanks again :cool:
