How ShopAndGive Works

Raise FREE donations for the causes you care about

What’s the catch? There isn’t one. No fees, no hassle. All you need to do is click via ShopAndGive every time you shop online. It’s as simple as that!

How it works

Set up a Supporter account on ShopAndGive and then just visit the ShopAndGive website, desktop reminder or mobile app and click on the retailer link you want to shop at. Purchases generate a donation which will show on your account summary once processed by our Machine.

How is it free?

Every year online shops pay millions in sales commissions to other websites that direct shoppers to them (e.g. search engines and voucher code websites). At ShopAndGive we turn these commissions into donations for your favourite schools and charitable causes, at no extra cost to you.
