Be the Cause Shoppers Choose
List your organization in ShopGiv. Shoppers who want to support you can choose you, and the givebacks that participating businesses make on those purchases can support your work.
The Fundraising Trap
Traditional fundraising is exhausting. Your team spends countless hours on events, grant applications, and donor outreach—time that could be spent on your mission.
- Donor fatigue limits giving
- Events require massive effort for modest returns
- Grant cycles create funding uncertainty
- Staff time spent fundraising instead of mission work
The ShopGiv Model
When a shopper chooses your organization, the participating business gives back on that approved sale, at a rate or amount the business sets. You still run your own fundraising. ShopGiv adds one more way for your community to support you.
