What is the Save the Children and easyfundraising app?

The Save the Children and easyfundraising app is the easiest way to shop & raise with over 7,000 brands, track your donations and invite your friends to join you in the good you do helping Save the Children.

Instead of searching for a brand on your usual browser or going directly to their apps, you simply start at the Save the Children and easyfundraising app and search for the brand that you want to shop with. Visit their website from our app and complete your shopping as normal and we will do the rest. 

How do I log into the App?

There are 3 ways you can log in to the app:

Email address and password

If you used your email address to register this is the option you would choose, complete the details and then sign in.

Apple sign-in

You can use your Apple ID to register and log in - just follow the instructions on screen.

Connecting your social accounts

If you would like the option to choose between these options to log in you will need to connect your social accounts. You can do this in your account settings, just use the on/off buttons and follow the on-screen instructions.

What is the Donation Reminder?

Our Donation Reminder is a browser extension. When you download in onto your laptop and mobile phone the Donation Reminder pops up automatically when you shop online, to let you know when a donation is available.

The Donation Reminder makes sure you never miss out on a donation for your good cause by alerting you if the retailer you’re shopping with will donate. A reminder will appear on your screen whenever a donation is available. Click “Activate Donation” and you’ll raise a FREE donation when you check out. 

How do I enable the Donation Reminder for Apple devices?

• From the App on your Apple device, click on the icon in the top right hand corner to access your account

If you have installed the Donation Reminder for mobile then follow the instructions below to manage the alerts for specific brands. To install the Donation Reminder please complete the instructions shown for How do I enable the Donation Reminder for mobile? first.

Once you have the Donation Reminder for mobile installed, if you want to manage the alerts that you see for certain brands, you can manage this in the settings.

From here you can search for the shop that you want to amend the alerts for, select them from the list shown and then use the on/off toggles to choose whether you see Donation Reminder alerts or notifications when you search with Google or Bing.

Can I get an extra donation for referring another supporter?

easyfundraising does have a Refer a friend scheme and we have found this is an excellent way to increase supporters for your cause.

In Refer a friend you have a unique link, all you need to do is give this link to your friends, family, colleagues and supporters for them to use to sign up to easyfundraising to support your cause. 

When someone uses your referral link to sign up, we record in the background that you're the reason that they registered, then when the person you referred meets the terms to unlock their referral bonus, it will be added to your account.

You can see how the supporters you have referred are getting on by going to View my referrals in your account. This will show you the first name and initial of the person you have referred and their progress towards unlocking the bonus we use dots to show this:

• One dot means they have signed up using your referral link
• Two dots mean they have raised donations; however, the amount doesn’t meet the minimum amount set in the terms and conditions
• Three dots mean they have met the minimum amount set in the terms and conditions and the referrals bonus will be added to your account

If a supporter who you have referred doesn’t meet the set criteria set in the terms and conditions within the time specified, they will be removed from View my referrals.
