A wide range of businesses participate in the savings card fundraiser. Some examples are national franchises such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut, or local businesses that offer services such as carwashes, dry cleaning, and oil changes.

Can more than one location, such as McDonald's, be listed on the card?

How long does it take to secure the offers?
The time it takes to secure local merchants all depends on your organization's efforts. It generally takes 1 to 2 weeks to secure local merchants. It is very important to spend time securing the best merchants and offers. A savings card with great offers from popular merchants will make the card a lot easier to sell and more profitable.

It's easier than you think! Businesses like to participate in them because it's free advertising and it helps them increase sales. It also gives them a chance to support the community. We provide a script on what to say to businesses, and provide a list of offers merchants can easily choose from.
