AT ACAT, we’re aware that raising money for your church is hard currently…
To state the obvious, your congregation is unable to meet face to face during these unchartered times.
So, we’ve partnered with fundraising website easyfundraising to make fundraising a little bit easier for you.
More than 3,000 churches are already using easyfundraising and using it to fund building repairs, facilities, running costs and much more.
These churches have raised more than £1.1m through easyfundraising so far.
To join them, simply register your church as a good cause with easyfundraising – it’s completely free to register and use and only takes two minutes to get started.

How does easyfundraising work?
It’s a really straightforward way to fundraise – many of your congregation shop online and with easyfundraising, you can turn that shopping into funds for your church.
When anyone connected to your church uses the easyfundraising website or app to shop online with 4000 leading retailers like Amazon, eBay, John Lewis & Partners, M&S, Argos, Just Eat, Go Compare & Eden.co.uk, the retailer they shop with sends your church a free donation at no extra cost.
They don’t need to change where they shop as all the big retailers are part of this great scheme so your congregation can raise money for your church just by doing their everyday online shopping with the retailers they use anyway.
TIP: Don’t forget to grab your free ‘Get Started’ guide to help get fundraising for your church off the ground.
Here’s an example…
Ann is a part of her local church. She wants to buy a new kettle from John Lewis. Instead of visiting the John Lewis website, she firstly goes to the easyfundraising website and clicks on the ‘John Lewis’ link.
The easyfundraising website will then send her to the John Lewis website where she shops as normal and buys her kettle. But because she started at easyfundraising, John Lewis will send her church a free donation at no extra cost to Ann.
It really is that simple.
Direct donations
As well as raising money through online shopping, with easyfundraising, your congregation can also choose to make a donation to your church at the click of a button. It’s quick, simple and 100% secure.
Ethical shopping
easyfundraising also works with a wide range of sustainable retailers such as Oxfam, Ethical Superstore, National Trust and lots more. This means your supporters can shop ethically and give your church a big funding boost at the same time.
ACAT’s Partners in Ministry
We’re delighted that easyfundraising has agreed to be one of our Partners in Ministry.
We forge these links with those organisations whose work supports and serves the administration of the church.
We collaborate with them to make treasurers and administrators aware of their services.
