**Fundraising website easyfundraising has today announced it has processed 175,000
donations to charities and good causes since September 2007, representing a 75% 
increase in donations in just 10 weeks.**

And with the Internet set to overtake the traditional high street as the preferred
place for UK consumers to shop this Christmas, easyfundraising is expecting to see
its fundraising organisations generate in excess of £80,000 in donations over the
festive period.

easyfundraising’s Becky Coleman said, “We’ve had a very busy few weeks at easyfundraising,
putting all our efforts into helping our organisations harness the spending power
of their supporters over the Christmas period.”

An estimated £14 billion will be spent online in the UK this Christmas and our service
allows charities and good causes to tap into this trend, providing them with a steady
fundraising income at no additional cost to either the organisations or their supporters.”

easyfundraising has also launched a Christmas Advent Calendar Competition to provide
its fundraising organisations with a festive tool to incentivise their supporters.

Prizes in the free to enter competition include 2 flights to Paris, a luxury spa
break for two, a 32″ HD Ready Digital LCD TV, an Xbox 360 and much more.

easyfundraising provides a simple way for charities, voluntary groups and non profit
organisations to raise funds whenever their supporters shop online.
