Why Partner With Us

A New Support Channel

Earn ongoing community support that grows alongside everyday local shopping.

Community Visibility

Get your cause in front of local shoppers who want to support it.

Effortless Participation

Once you’re set up, support comes from shopping that’s already happening.

Stronger Local Ties

Build lasting relationships with the businesses and shoppers in your community.

How You Receive Support

Everything your organization receives arrives as Reward Points, spent inside the Shop Local Rewards network. There are two ways to receive them.

Get listed as a Local Cause

Free. Members choose one cause to support, and yours can be on the list.

For your first 12 months, Shop Local Rewards donates 5 Reward Points every month to the cause of your choice.

Those Reward Points come from Shop Local Rewards’ own funds. Members can also send Reward Points they have earned to your organization, and you spend them at participating local businesses and in the Rewards Mall.

See the causes directory

Run a fundraiser

Your school or nonprofit sells Tap & Go Rewards Cards to supporters. Supporters attach to your cause automatically, and you receive Reward Points you can use to help offset expenses.

Start a fundraiser

What it costs

Being listed as a cause is free. There is no fee to an organization.

Shop Local Rewards never collects money for your organization and never sends money to it.

Contributions are made in Reward Points, not cash. They are not tax-deductible and no tax receipts are issued.
