ShopRaise works with retailers and gift card brands through their marketing and customer acquisition budgets. When an employee completes a transaction through ShopRaise, the retailer or gift card brand pays ShopRaise a commission for generating the transaction.
ShopRaise then donates a portion of that commission to the cause or nonprofit selected by the employee. The employee pays the same price they normally would and does not make a separate donation.
ShopRaise has two ways employees can generate support:
- Shopping Program: Employees shop at participating retailers through the ShopRaise app, browser extension, or by activating ShopRaise when they visit a participating retailer’s website.
- Gift Card Program: Employees purchase gift cards from participating brands through the ShopRaise Marketplace.
In both programs, every eligible transaction creates support for the cause the employee has selected.
