Fantastic way to give for free to wonderful organisations!

Fantastic way to give to a huge range of charitable organisations! Totally free, doesn't cost you a penny, and easy to use! I hope they develop it further so that the Shop and Give reminder is installable on web browsers for smartphones and visible when using apps, as it's a lot harder to remember to use it when shopping via my phone. It's still simple to use it on a phone, you just go through the Shop and Give app to get to your retailer, just harder to remember! That said, I'm sure the developers will introduce that facility at some point.

Thank you for the feedback Cathy. We have previously explored options in this area. Unfortunately this feature is not possible as you describe on mobile devices but we are investigating alternative solutions to make sure you never miss a donation when using your mobile

A great way to support good causes

If you want to raise money for a worthy cause/s without hassle then the Giving Machine is the ideal vehicle for doing so. By checking the website you can view which retailers offer the best deals and, once you are signed up to Giving Machine then it is an effortless process. Every website you contact, that has an agreement with Giving Machine, will be flagged up as you enter. You may think at first that you are not donating that much to your cause but, every little amount adds up.

I set up TGM for our PSA

I set up TGM for our PSA and we have now raised over £1500 from our supporters who shop on-line via TGM. It was easy to set up and TGM provide plenty of marketing materials to promote it's use within your charity. Questions and any issues have been raised / solved quickly. As a PSA we like the fact that TGM is a charity helping other charities raise funds rather than a commercial enterprise.

The perfect way to give for free…

The perfect way to give for free everytime I shop online. I love that I can support 4 different charities/causes who benefit from my shopping sprees. Such a wonderful facility that enables everyone to give, at the click of a button, at no extra cost. So easy and simple to use. I am so pleased I can help make a difference via TheGivingMachine.

Easy way to raise money for charity

Such an easy way to raise money for charity - just shop online at all the big name retailers and a percentage of your spend goes to the charity of your choice, at no extra cost to you. I love the Shop&Give reminder you can set up on your PC/mobile to remind you when online shopping. I've already raised over £60 for Alzheimer's Research.

Purple hair, wine and cake

I've been a fan of TheGivingMachine charity for more than a few years now and seen my, and other, causes really benefit. Being a charity themselves makes a difference to me, as do the team as it's good to know there are real people there who really care about what they do and will go the extra mile to help me and fellow supporters of the charity I want to help. And a team who eat cake and have a boss with purple hair who enjoys a glass of wine on a Friday have got to be worth supporting. Keep up the good work!

Such a good idea to turn sales commission into charitable funding. The little popup that comes up on your screen every time you visit a website that supports this initiative, slows things down a bit but it's worth the extra time for the good you know you are doing!

Easy to raise donations

Easy to raise donations. The app usually reminds you when you're on a site that can raise a free donations, it is all done with just one extra click. The exception to this is Amazon, where you have to remember to go in through Giving Machine website. Basically it is raising money for a very good cause by doing shopping that i would have been doing anyway.

There is nothing to not like about TheGivingMachine!
Simply open the app look for the partner where you wish to make a purchase and then continue as normal that is it! It could not be simpler!
Just one extra click and the benefits start to roll in for your chosen organisation.
Thank you TheGivingMachine.

An amazing and invaluable way to donate to your local and/or favourite charity/charities without even knowing about it. Costs the donor nothing and is so easy to do!
Wonderful idea, thank you The Giving Machine and your "Founders". You are an inspiration.

A great initiative to easily help those in need and make the world a better place.

The Giving Machine is a great initiative that raises money for charities through shopping online. The customer buys the product and at no extra cost to the customer, the online shop gives the donation.

It's like cashback websites but with a heart. And its not just for new customers (as is often the case with cashback websites), but can be used to raise donations for charity every time you shop online.

Giving feels better than receiving and is good for out mental health too. The giving machine enables customers to help those who really need it, and through a simple decision, make the world a better, kinder place.

The shop and give app is great too as its easy to visit and links you quickly and directly through to the online shops you want to visit.

Keep Up the Excellent Work!
The team at The Giving Machine work so hard to enable us to 'give' to our favourite charities and good causes, all we have to do is remember to access online retailer sites via TGM website.
Thank You so much.

A brilliant way to raise money with great customer service

This is a great site and a brilliant way to raise money for our charity. I use the widget on my computer so that every time I go to a website that is linked to The Giving Machine, if I buy something the donation is automatically made. It's easy to do and means a bit of extra money for our little charity every month. Also the customer service is second to none - really impressive.

So easy to support your favourite cause and raise funds for them whenever you shop online. You get an email to let you know that you have raised a donation and the Giving Machine keep a tally of donations so you can see how much money you’ve raised.

Helping us to help others

Helping us to help others - Love the friendliness of The Giving Machine, and their eagerness to help communities to thrive by ensuring charities get back every penny available from their purchases, at no cost! It's so easy to engage with, and we have really benefitted from the donations - helping us to help others. Fantastic!

This charitable enterprise does a great job in a clear, economical way.

This charitable enterprise does a great job of linking a donor to giving to a specific charity. This is a very efficient way of making dedicated donations. We are very happy with the way they work and how our donations reach those we are in favour of. They are very easy to deal with - and nice people to deal with!
