The Design & Technology Association teams up with easyfundraising to help boost your D&T budget
Our partnership with easyfundraising is a simple way for schools to raise money for design and technology resources – all through everyday online shopping.
We know that finding funds for essential D&T tools, materials and equipment is harder than ever. But now there’s an easy, sustainable and completely free way to help. When parents, teachers and supporters shop online via easyfundraising at one of 8,000+ participating retailers, your school receives a donation – at no extra cost to them.
Retailers include trusted names like Amazon, eBay, Just Eat, Argos, Tesco, M&S, John Lewis, Etsy, Screwfix, Moonpig and many more. In 2024 alone, schools received over £1.5 million in free funding – and over £16 million has already been raised in total. With more than 10,000 schools already involved, don’t miss out on your school’s share.
How it works
It couldn’t be simpler. Imagine a parent buying a birthday gift from Argos. Instead of going straight to the website, they first visit easyfundraising, click through to Argos, and then shop as usual. That’s it. A percentage of their purchase is donated to your school.
This works with over 8,000 retailers – from supermarkets and travel companies to insurance providers – and with each purchase, your D&T department gains valuable funds to invest where you need them most.
Join today and start raising
his is your chance to support your D&T provision in a way that doesn’t involve bake sales or grant forms. Just sign up at easyfundraising.org.uk/dt-association, register your school, and start collecting free donations every time someone shops online.
Together, we can keep design and technology thriving in your school – and give your pupils the tools to invent, create and succeed.
