iStreet Giving was an online shopping platform set-up to help UK charities raise additional funds through online shopping.[1] The firm's headquarters are located in Ipswich, Suffolk.

History[edit]

In 2014, Hugo Catchpole and Hamish Stone founded iStreet, an online platform which helps shoppers to help a good cause with online shopping.[2] The Social Enterprise allows users to donate to charities and good causes alike registered with the site, by their day to day online shopping.

How it works[edit]

It is free for UK charities and good causes to register themselves on iStreet, in doing so a profile is automatically created - this profile connects the charity with over 1200 retailers. Charities can then share their iStreet page with their supporters allowing them to raise donations whilst online shopping. Users raise a small donation on every shop, this is normally a percentage of the total spend - at no extra cost, providing an alternative mode of fundraising.[2]

Accolades[edit]

In 2014, iStreet was recognised in the Charity Times annual Awards in their Fundraising Technology category - finishing runner up.[3] The prestigious Charity Times awards are said to be a pre-eminent celebration of best practise in the UK charity and not-for-profit sector, recognising outstanding achievement and operational excellence.[4] The Big Give Christmas Challenge scooped the award for their ongoing success.[5]
