buy.at’s fundraising webshops have helped to raise over half a million pounds for
chartable organisations across the UK. buy.at offer free websites to fundraisers
so that organisations can raise funds through online shopping.

The merchants involved work directly with buy.at and offer up to 12% of the purchase
price to charities involved. All commissions are agreed by the merchants working
with buy.at and no middle men take a cut of the commission due.

Merchants involved include M&S, John Lewis, NEXT, Waterstones, HMV, ASDA, Tesco 
and Expedia. The average donation given for a purchase is currently £2.75.
