4Funding are an innovative fundraising company for charity. They have a number of services which can make generating funds much quicker for causes such as scout groups, youth sports groups, disability support groups and community support programmes.

This item focusses on the core 4Funding offering, which provides members of a organisation to fundraise for free for the good cause by purchasing on the web and making referral fees.

An example, many of the famous High Street outlets such as M&S would appear on the website provided to the organisation by 4Funding, and whenever shoppers pass through from the web portal to the Marks and Spencer website, any sales will be tracked and a referral fee paid to the good cause. This is usually on a share of the basket value, but there are also several easy cash earning options which do not need a purchase, perhaps completing a questionnaire or participating in a competition.

Even aside from the free offers that do not require a sale, the fundraising potential is large - for example a scout pack with only 15 scouts would each have support from at minimum four mums and dads, aunties, uncles, schoolfriends and other family members, 60 supporters all together (15 x 4). If they were to each complete four competitions and one survey, they would most likely raise the scout group £1.50 commission each, overall £90 for the pack. As you can no doubt see, this is conservative when you consider many packs have a lot more than 15 scouts, each having many more than four friends and family members.

On top of this how much a lot of people pay out online annually and you can start to comprehend how this idea has become so successful for causes.

The number of included companies is getting larger all the time - several hundred are included at the time of writing. Increasingly, less well known retailers are being included - opening up new present idea options for birthday presents and around the festive shopping period.

If you are trying to buy everyday products such as CD’s and DVD’s, renew your Vehicle Insurance or maybe participate in the odd competition, why not support a organisation and earn them commission too - you don’t pay any more, and they’ll certainly appreciate it!
