Shop Funds

• HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

  Progressive Fundraising purchases paper and/or plastic gift certificates from large retail stores in bulk.  Since we purchase in large quantities, the retail stores give us a good discount.  We pass the majority of that discount on to non-profit organizations like schools, churches, day cares, sports organizations, clubs and charities.  The non-profit organization sells the gift certificates at face value to their supporters and collects the difference.

  Members supporting fundraising initiatives are tired of selling chocolates, candy, wrapping paper and coupon books.  Supporters welcome the opportunity to shop for what they want, where they want and when they want.  In addition, it does not not cost them one cent to support their local organization.  All the members have to do is be willing to plan ahead and purchase paper and/or plastic gift certificates for their favourite retail stores before they shop.  Best of all, children of supporters do not have to sell door to door in this program.

  Participating retailers include these types of store; grocery, gasoline, home improvement, department, sporting goods, specialty, video and restaurants.

  Organizations with 100 participating families should be able to make $20,000.00 per year annually.
