[Cash-and-caring] commercial donations with purchases

Wed Jan 20 18:28:24 UTC 2016

There are quite a few companies that will do that, especially online.  We
are working on learningmore about them. Many state affiliates are signed up
with Amazon Smiles.  Several chapters and affiliates have done campaigns
with Schwanscares; We  just got signed up with Fred Myer which is a
subdivision of Crogers.  Any states that wish can get these moving.  If
people know about other companies with similar programs, please share this
info with the rest of us.

Thanks, to that, I can also add that you can also raise money online through
vatrious websites and creative initiatives that you can put out on your main
site and on the rest of the websites. That way you can even increase traffic
and interest. I think that it would be also good if you can persuade the big
chain supermarkets to let customers donate a percentage of the money to your
organization.
