What Is Points For Profit?
You may never have heard of it, but be assured Points for Profit is working to improve your community. The program is so simple that many people have a hard time understanding how it works. The program operator, InSpirit Marketing, Inc. recruits businesses and gives them exclusive sponsorship in their business category, then they recruit up to 30 non-profit organizations whose members shop the businesses and save their receipts for which they are awarded points. At the end of the year the program is responsible for more than $17,000 given back to the non-profit groups, and an additional $4,000 from P4P business fundraisers. Non-profit groups also get points for attending meetings and special events, as well as seeking out special offerings by the member businesses.
A monthly meeting offers the business members the opportunity to discuss their products or services with both business and non-profit members. Non-profit groups such as Habitat for Humanity, St. Edward’s Youth, Osborn Aquatic Center and Women for Ag, encourage their members, staff and Boards to shop the P4P businesses and enjoy the friendly competition to “win” the cash awards at the end of the year. Collectively over 100,000 people are “directed” to shop for points.
We encourage you to review the list of participating non-profits and start supporting your favorite non-profit organization by simply shopping for what you normally buy at a business that supports your non-profit. Your dollars not only stay in the community but also come back to your non-profit!
Points for Profit is excited at the opportunity to speak to a larger audience with High Points. Our goal is to one day give back $100,000 to our community.
