The biggest fundraising month of the year is here!
A potential £36m in FREE donations this Black Friday!
Why? Well, it’s Black Friday month and £1.2bn is expected to be spent online that day in the UK (that’s not including the weeks leading up to it and Cyber Monday which follows). If all those orders were placed via easyfundraising, a small percentage of that total would be turned into free cashback donations – £36m* worth to be exact!
Parents WILL be shopping, so make sure they’re raising!
The average spend per person on Black Friday is expected to be £250. The average donation via easyfundraising is £7.50, for free. That’s £225 per class raised in a single day, based on a class worth of 30 parents shopping!
Every parent connected with your PTA could raise an average of £7.50** on Black Friday alone. That’s over £200 per class! Completely free funding, courtesy of the retailers they shop with, including the likes of Argos, Tesco, Etsy and M&S. No extra time, no extra resources or planning.
