View source for How to Financially Help Us

There are a number of ways you can financially help us.

* Direct donations of cash
* Becoming a member and a subscriber
* Making purchases from some online retailers

== Direct Donations ==

This can be made online using JustGiving (preferably) or PayPal.  JustGiving handles GiftAid (if you are entitled to it) which boost your donation by an additional 25% which is very significant.

You can also donate money by putting it in any of the donation tins within the space.  If you can, put in an envelope and let us know who you are - that way we can thank you!

You can donate online using these links:
* JustGiving (preferred, allows for GiftAid): https://www.justgiving.com/eehackspace
* Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/gb/fundraiser/charity/4228416

== Indirect Ways to Help Us ==

=== Amazon Purchases ===

Amazon has a scheme called Smile which allows you shop like normal and have 1-2% of your purchase price donated to East Essex Hackspace.  There is no cost to you, and you still get the best price from Amazon purchases.  You firstly need to choose EEH as your desired charity, and secondly, all purchases need to be made from https://smile.amazon.co.uk rather than the normal website.  

To select EEH as your desired charity visit the below link and then select us.
https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/chpf/homepage?q=east+Essex+hackspace+cio

Then next time you are shopping on amazon, just before you go to the checkout, change the url in the address bar to have <code>smile</code> at the beginning, then complete your purchase.
