Shop for social change with the Puget Sound Community Card
PCC is proud to be a partner and sponsor of an exciting new initiative — the Puget Sound Community Change Program, developed by the nonprofit Interra Project.
This program promotes shopping at local businesses using a rewards card and invests a percentage of your purchases back into our community.
How does it work?
Shoppers register online for a free Puget Sound Community Card (PSCC). During registration, shoppers may select any local public or private school or any of 15 local nonprofit organizations as beneficiaries to receive a portion of their community rebates. Shoppers then swipe or scan their Puget Sound Community Card when making qualifying purchases at participating local businesses to earn community rebates.
The community rebates earned at these businesses are allocated as follows: cardholders (35%), designated beneficiaries (35%), the card sponsor (10%) and Interra Project for processing (20%). Cardholders may also choose to dedicate their portion of the rebate earnings to their beneficiaries.
The PCC Farmland Trust is one of the 15 beneficiaries cardholders may choose to support and is the default beneficiary for PCC's co-branded Puget Sound Community Card, available in December 2007.
We encourage all PCC shoppers and consumers interested in supporting good works in our local community to register and become PSCC cardholders. Your participation "empowers consumers, local businesses and nonprofits to shift dollars to the common good."
