Welcome to the Shop and Support program!
Easily raise funds through your supporters' everyday shopping, budgeting and gift giving! Now is the time to join hundreds of schools, sports teams and other non-profit groups that already benefit from the Shop and Support program, an exciting way to effortlessly raise funds through your supporters' everyday shopping at almost 100 brand name retailers including, Canadian Tire, Shoppers Drug Mart, Petro-Canada, The Home Depot, Future Shop, Blockbuster, Starbucks and more.
It's simple! Your supporters conveniently purchase their shopping cards and certificates online to use in-store towards their everyday purchases, for household budgeting or to give as gifts. Orders can either be shipped to your club for pick up or directly to their home. Your club instantly receives up to 15 per cent of each purchase to support its fundraising activities. A group of 50 families can easily raise up to $25,000 per year through their existing weekly shopping.
Finally, you will have a year-round fundraising program, which can easily and quickly raise funds through your supporters' everyday shopping, with no additional out-of-pocket expense of door-to-door selling required. It's simple, effective and fun! And with shopandsupport.ca you can launch your program entirely online and manage it with minimal volunteer time and effort required. Once you have enrolled in the program, your club will receive a Group ID number that you can give to family, friends, co-workers and anyone else who supports your club. They will use this when they shop as a supporter.
Start raising funds the easy way! Visit shopandsupport.ca or call toll free (866) 387-8073 to instantly setup and customize your Shop & Support Fundraising Program. Be sure to mention your club is a part of Kin Canada.
Supporter
As a Shop and Support member you will be raising funds for your cause through your everyday shopping, budgeting and gift giving every time you shop!
You don't need to purchase anything you wouldn't normally buy. Simply purchase Shop and Support Cards (same as gift cards) through the Shop and Support Program for over 100 national brand name retailers. Shop and Support Cards are just like cash at participating retail partners. Plus, they are valid across Canada, at all of the retail partners' locations. For example, you purchase $200 worth of groceries each week. You simply purchase $200 worth of Shop and Support Cards for the grocery store of your choice and use them as cash towards your purchase in-store...and you just helped your cause raise $10. Our retail partners are committed to helping participating causes by contributing a percentage of purchases to the cause of your choice.
Simply use your Shop and Support Cards in-store towards your everyday purchases, budgeting and gift-giving...either way you are supporting your cause and there is no extra cost to you! Click here to become a Shop and Support member. Imagine every time you go grocery shopping, dine out, shop for clothes or buy gifts you could be raising funds to support what means the most to you.
Through shopandsupport.ca, you can conveniently order your Shop and Support Cards online anytime, pay online and have them shipped to your group for free or to your home by Canada Post Expresspost.
If your club chooses not to support the program by receiving its own Group ID number, and you still want to be a supporter of the program you can shop using the Kin Canada (Headquarters) Group ID number and still support Kin Canada as a percentage of sales come back to national headquarters. To obtain our Group ID number, please contact Michelle Rickard at (800) 742-5546 ext. 205 or e-mail mrickard@kincanada.ca.
