Free funding for D&T in your school with easyfundraising
Published 1st April 2025
The Design & Technology Association is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with easyfundraising, a platform that enables schools to raise much-needed funds for their D&T resources simply through online shopping.
With budgets tighter than ever, securing funding for essential D&T equipment, materials, and tools can be a challenge. However, thanks to easyfundraising, schools now have access to a simple, sustainable, and completely free way to boost their funding. The process is straightforward: when parents, teachers, and supporters shop online through the easyfundraising platform at one of over 8,000 participating retailers, a percentage of their purchase is donated to their school at no extra cost to them.
Retailers include household names such as Amazon, eBay, Just Eat, Argos, Tesco, M&S, John Lewis, Etsy, Screwfix, Moonpig, and many more. In 2024, more than £1.5 million was received by schools in free funding. Over £16 million has been raised for schools using the platform already. With over 10,000 schools already benefiting from this initiative, now is the time to get involved.
How It Works
It couldn’t be easier to start fundraising. Imagine a parent purchasing a birthday gift from Argos. Instead of going directly to the Argos website, they visit easyfundraising first, click through to Argos from there, and complete
their purchase as usual. Their child’s school then receives a percentage of how much they spend for free.
This simple process works across all 8,000+ participating retailers, spanning supermarkets, insurance providers, travel companies, and more. With every purchase, schools can secure additional funding for their D&T departments.
Join the Movement
This is a fantastic opportunity to ensure your school’s D&T provision continues to inspire the next generation of creators and problem-solvers. Signing up is quick and free: simply visit easyfundraising.org.uk/dt-association to register your school and start earning free donations today.
