I Shop. Therefore I Give.® How Do I Get Started?
Typical Example of Shopping & Giving: Imagine your monthly total for online shopping with a variety of merchants - clothing, gifts, home improvement, for example - adds up to $200. When you pay online, the participating Benevolink retailers automatically contribute a percentage of your total purchase to a Benevolink account in your name. Given that the average retailer contribution is 7%, you could earn over $150 per year for your favorite cause! That's all there is to accumulating contributions for your charity as you shop. Once a quarter, you will be prompted, via email, to check your Benevolink account online and direct your funds to the charities of your choice. And, as Benevolink adds in-store retailers such as grocery, department and drug stores to the mix, your giving options will expand. It's Giving Made Simple!® No Cost, No Hassles. The Benevolink program is free for shoppers and nonprofit charitable organizations and is an easy and effective way for retailers to reach into the community with their philanthropic efforts. No need to save receipts, clip proof of purchase symbols or use a special card or code when you shop. Benevolink does it all for you. No hidden costs or strings. And -- this is powerful -- 100% of the funds you accrue go to the charities you select, so You Do Good Well.® Working Together Multiplies the Impact! Alone, you can make a difference. Yet imagine the added impact when friends, family and like-minded nonprofit supporters join together. For example, when a group like a PTA or faith association of 100 members all give their funds to a common charity, funds grow even faster.
Just think, when you add what you can give via Benevolink to what you already give to charity from your own pocket, you can see how simple Benevolink makes it for you to have an even greater impact on the causes you care about most. Empowering YOU, the Consumer: With Benevolink, YOU control where donations are directed to one or more charities you care about - a local homeless shelter or day care center, a national organization, your religious organization or your child's school or scout troop. YOU have the flexibility to change how you direct your earned funds each quarter. YOU pay no fees! And YOU make an impact - 100% of the funds you earn go the charities you choose. With Benevolink, You Buy The Things You Want. Your Favorite Charity Gets The Things It Needs.® Benevolink. Giving Made Simple.®
