What nonprofits should look for
- Free to join, with no fees on distributions.
- Recurring, not one-time — funding that keeps coming as supporters shop.
- Easy for supporters, with little behavior change.
- Ideally, local — keeping money in your community and giving supporters a reason to care.
Good Circles (local-first)
Supporters pick your nonprofit once, then 10% of the merchant's profit on every local purchase they make is routed to you, automatically and monthly. It's free, recurring, and unrestricted — and supporters actually save about 10%, so they're motivated to use it. See Good Circles for nonprofits »
ShopRaise, iGive, and Goodshop
ShopRaise and iGive route a percentage of purchases at major national retailers to your organization. Goodshop pairs coupons with donations. These are well-established and cover big-box shopping — a good complement to a local program.
Our recommendation
Run a local program (Good Circles) for recurring, community-rooted funding, and layer a national-retailer tool on top to capture everyday big-box shopping. Together they replace — and exceed — what AmazonSmile offered.
