Turn Your Community into a Fundraising Engine

Nonprofits and mission-driven organizations are constantly looking for new ways to fund their work. Traditional fundraising, campaigns, donations, grant applications, takes time, effort, and often asks supporters directly for money.

But what if your community could support your mission without spending an extra euro?

That’s exactly what Terry enables.

Terry turns everyday online shopping into a steady stream of donations for environmental and social projects. And the best part: your supporters don’t pay anything extra.

The More You Share, The More You Earn

Terry creates a simple but powerful cycle:

You share Terry → your supporters shop → donations flow → your project grows.

Every supporter who joins Terry through your mission becomes a recurring contributor through their normal online purchases.

That’s why we say:

The more you share, the more you earn.

Each new supporter multiplies the impact of your mission: not just once, but every time they shop.

Turn Everyday Shopping into Impact

Your supporters already buy things online: books, clothes, electronics, groceries, travel.

Through Terry, purchases at hundreds of partner stores automatically generate donations for the mission they support.

Examples include everyday brands like:

  • Coolblue

  • HEMA

  • Bol.com

  • Booking.com

  • Thuisbezorgd

The price stays exactly the same for the shopper. The donation simply comes from the store’s marketing commission.

No extra cost. No extra effort. Just impact.

A New Revenue Stream for Your Mission

Many organizations struggle with fundraising fatigue constantly asking the same community for support.

Terry adds something different:

A passive fundraising stream that grows with your community.

Instead of asking supporters for money, you simply invite them to shop through Terry when they already need something.

Over time, those small contributions add up.

Donations on Terry can range from a few cents to tens of euros per purchase, depending on the store and the size of the order. Some purchases generate €0.50, others €10, €30, or even €80.

Individually small. Collectively powerful.

Free for You. Free for Your Supporters.

Joining Terry is simple and completely free.

  • No setup costs

  • No monthly fees

  • No commission taken from your donations

100% of the donation allocated to your mission goes directly to your project.

Your organization focuses on your mission. Terry handles the technology, tracking, and payments.

Growing Together

Terry already hosts a growing number of missions working on:

  • biodiversity restoration

  • regenerative agriculture

  • ocean protection

  • climate action

Every new mission strengthens the ecosystem. And every new supporter increases the collective impact.

Together, we’re building a system where everyday economic activity funds nature and climate solutions.

Fundraising Tips for Missions Using Terry

Like any fundraising effort, success with Terry depends on engagement. Here are a few simple strategies that work well:

1. Tell your community clearly how it works

Explain that supporters don’t need to donate money — they simply shop as usual.

2. Share regularly

Mention Terry in newsletters, social media, and events. Repetition matters.

3. Celebrate milestones

Share updates when donations come in or goals are reached. It reinforces participation.

4. Make it part of your culture

Encourage volunteers, board members, and staff to use Terry themselves.

5. Connect Terry to your impact

Show supporters what their shopping helps achieve: trees planted, habitat restored, land regenerated.

When people see the results, participation grows.

A Different Kind of Fundraising

Terry doesn’t replace traditional fundraising.

It complements it.

Think of it as a background fundraising engine that runs while your community lives their normal lives.

Instead of asking for donations again and again, you give supporters a simple habit:

Start your shopping journey with Terry.

And let everyday purchases fund the future you’re working toward.
