  How does it work?

Well, in a nutshell... Each online purchase made through our website generates an automatic donation for whichever non-profit or charity the customer chooses. It doesn't cost you or your supporters a penny extra to participate or shop, we take care of all the tracking and administration for you, and we've partnered with over 150 popular retailers which means your supporters will be able to buy whatever they want, all year long, and help generate automatic donations for you!

 

Here's a more detailed explanation...

  • Each online shopping trip MUST START from www.shopandshare.ca. Simply tell your supporters to log into their 'Shop and Share.ca' account and select your organization from the list if they haven't already done so. Once they've selected your organization, it will be displayed on the top left corner of the site each time they log in.
  • Your supporters then follow the links to their favourite retailers' websites to make their purchases (your organization's ID# travels with them behind the scene so we can properly track who the donations should go to)
  • The donation amounts vary between retailers and are displayed on each retailer and/or product page.
  • Once your organization has a minimum $25 donation balance, we send you a cheque. 
  • Amazon.ca works a bit differently. They are not able to report the chosen charities back to us, so please read the notice on our Amazon page for more details.
  • If you are the assigned Charity Representative, you can view your organization's donations/transactions by logging in to your account and clicking on the 'Donations Report' link.

 

  Potential Donations Available

Wanna know how much your organization can make with ShopandShare.ca? Let's look at some quick numbers here:

  • If only 10 supporters spend an average of $100 online each month with an average donation amount of *3%, your organization would receive a $30 donation cheque each month ($360/year). Not bad considering that the program runs on its own and doesn't require any valuable volunteer hours, space, inventory management, door-to-door sales, counting cash, etc.
  • 50 supporters x $150 = $225/mo ($2700/yr). Again, $2700 is pretty decent given that it didn't take any work from anyone in your organization, other than cashing the cheques!
  • 200 supporters x $200 = $1200/mo ($14,400/yr). Easy and obtainable.

Are you wondering if your supporters could spend an average of $100-$200/month online? The answer is: ABSOLUTELY! Just think about it. With over 150 popular retailers to choose from, your supporters can buy everything online from clothing, shoes, jewellery, cosmetics, books, DVDs, travel, home improvement, sports equipment, electronics, and so much more! One pair of boots and a winter jacket alone can easily run between $100-$200!


* 3% donation is the average donation amount based on actual purchases made through ShopandShare.ca to date.
