DonorCharge Community Card Program - Raise more funds with your own program.

The DonorCharge Community Shopping Card Program enables Non-Profits or local organizations to easily create their own cards to raise funds while also encouraging customer loyalty for local merchants, and helping local shoppers save money in the process. 

Community Card Programs are a convenient way to raise funds for your organization while also creating a network of supported businesses and shoppers that are interested in supporting your cause.  Through DonorCharge your organization can create it's own Community Card program at little to no expense to your charity while you also receive recurring donations from the use of those cards.

With our Community Card Program you may brand pre-printed cards that shoppers deposit cash to and use for shopping at participating local merchant locations (as they would with any gift card).  Shoppers will only purchase from participating merchant locations who agree to give perks or discounts for use of the card.  Our Community Card Program is a great way for you to raise recurring funds for your Non-Profit while also supporting local businesses, plus it is a great discount tool for local tourists and a nice product for shoppers to share with each other as gifts.
Unlike single-store gift cards, the Community Card is a one card that may be used across the board at ALL participating merchant locations in your area or network, so a shopper may load the card with money at a local Cafe, but use that same card at the shoe store, restaurant, bar, or any other location that is in the community card network.

Best of all, businesses pay a flat per transaction fee of $0.20-$0.30 cents to accept the community card (no percentage charge for them to swipe the card) and  your Non-Profit receives a set donation amount each time a purchase is made as well using  your Community Card.

More Benefits of using DonorCharge to create your own Community Shopping Card:

  • This is  much more than a designed coupon card to present at the merchant's location.  A loaded card that swipes and transfer funds to the merchant - like a gift card, or credit card.  Customers tend to spend more when using a gift card or community card than to present a coupon card and pay with their own cash.

  • There is no fee for your organization to begin this program (we furnish the first 500 working community cards for you), and your organization receives small donations each time a card is swiped.  You bring in the local businesses that are aware of, or support your organization - and we do the rest!

  • Merchants may parcipate in this program without changing their merchant account.  By using this card the merchant also saves money by not paying a transaction fee percentage that they typically pay when using their credit card - thus making it easier for them to offer discounts when using this community card vs. using a credit card.

  • This concept is great for area chamber of commerce organizations, established religious entities, new local business initiatives, community fundraisers, and more...  If your organization has even a small amount of local name recognition - this system can help grow your popularity while also enabling you to raise more!
