Introduction to ShopDonation 

Are you in charge of a non-profit and would like to raise funds for free? ShopDonation enables all types of NGOs and social projects in Switzerland to raise donations for free by using our platform.

What’s the catch? There isn’t one. No fees, no hassle. Your association receives a donation every time someone clicks via ShopDonation before shopping online. It’s as simple as that! You can find more information about how ShopDonation works on this page. You will also find additional information in our FAQ as well as on the video page.

ShopDonation brings you a new tool of the digitalization era to help you generate additional revenue for your social project.

To register your project and start receiving donations, you simply need to register your project here. Your project will then have its own page on ShopDonation: shopdonation.ch/thenameofyourproject

Promote your project 

Every time someone uses your link to shop online, your project will receive a donation. The same applies when someone selects your association from our platform directly.

The goal is to inform as many people as possible about this opportunity they have to support your project. Anyone can, through their online purchases, support your project. It does not cost them anything extra. The only requirement is that they first visit shopdonation.ch. Instead of asking for a traditional donation, you will only be asking for a small change in behaviour.

To help you reach a lot of people, our marketing team has prepared promotional materials as well as a step-by-step marketing guide to help your project gain visibility. In addition to that, we highlight monthly ‘’the cause of the month’’ on our social media. That way, we can shed light on associations that stand out .

Talk about your project to your network 

Every year, there are millions of people in Switzerland who shop online. It’s very likely that you have friends, acquaintances, and family members who make purchases at online stores on a regular basis. Once your project is registered on ShopDonation, we advise you to inform your network. Let them know that they can support your project for free when they shop online.

Whether your association is very large or only has a few members, the only thing you need to do is to spread the word. You can send an email, a letter, make a few calls or, if you can, inform your members personally.

Go the extra mile to boost your fundraising! The more people use your link to shop online, the larger your project will grow.

How much can you generate? 

This will mainly depend on the number of people that support your cause. Most online purchases only generate small donations, as they are a fraction of the purchase amount. During holiday periods, people tend to spend a lot of money online. This is a good period to promote your cause in your close circles and remind your friends to support you by using ShopDonation.

By the way, some online merchants offer up to a 40% commission (insurance, software, etc…) per sale. You can find all the online stores affiliated with ShopDonation and their respective commissions on this page.

We wish you a lot of success
