Fundraising on Vinted

This is not affiliated content, I've been using Vinted quite a lot and I can see it being a nice little earner for a non profit.

To be crystal clear, I don't think your non profit is going to make millions on Vinted. I do think it can be another community/DIY fundraiser though and it can become a small but steady income stream, Vinted items are generally not sold for much money.

Nor do I don't think Vinted Volunteers are a thing yet, but they could so easily be. Vinted is easier to use than Ebay, it has a handy app and it sells mostly clothes but also soft furnishings, bags and shoes.

You can donate directly from the platform, which means that you could create a campaign for existing volunteers, beneficiaries, staff or whoever and ask them to sell the items they don't want and donate the money to the charity. As I say, it won't make megabucks but it could develop over time and your charity could take advantage of the fashion for Vinted (geddit?!)

For those charities with shops, you could recruit some Vinted Volunteers to come in and sell some of the shop's items.

I know you'll get the benefits, but I'm going to list them because I can't help myself:

• less waste going to landfill

• supporting people who are living on a budget

• very apt given the cost of living crisis at the moment

• satisfaction of knowing that the items are going to people who want them and will wear/use them

• encouraging people to buy 2nd hand and contributing to the circular economy

• did I mention the app and the platform are much easier than Ebay?

When you recruit your first Vinted Volunteers, let me know and I'll enjoy
knowing the above benefits and that I was the first to coin the phrase.
