Our
Mission:
Is
to allow community organizations to increase their fund raising potential using simple
no cost fundraising methods.
Our
Beliefs:
Parents
will adjust their buying habits to support their own children or themselves.
Combining
the purchasing power of a group can raise a substantial amount of money
for their community organizations.
How
it works! & Revenue Potential!
HOW IT WORKS!
1.
Progressive Fundraising purchases gift cards from large
retail stores/restaurants in bulk.
2.
Participating retail stores/restaurants include these types of stores; grocery, gasoline,
home improvement, department, sporting goods, specialty, video and restaurants.
3.
Since we purchase in such large quantities, the retail stores/restaurants give us
a good discount.
4.
We pass the majority of that discount on to community organizations
like schools, churches, day cares, sports organizations, clubs and charities.
5.
The community organization sells the gift cards at face
value to their supporters and collects the difference.
WHY
IT WORKS!
1.
Members supporting fundraising initiatives are tired of selling chocolates, candy, wrapping paper and coupon books.
2.
Supporters welcome the opportunity to shop for what they want, where
they want and when they want.
3.
In addition, it does not cost them one cent to support their local organization.
4.
All the members have to do is be willing to plan ahead and buy gift cards for their favorite retail stores/restaurants before they shop.
5.
Best of all, children of the supporters do not have to sell door to
door in this program!
