WHY SHOULD YOU PARTICIPATE?

As a retail store owner, you can make a significant impact by offering your customers the option to "round up" their purchase totals to the nearest dollar at checkout, to support Raw Earth Foundation’s mission to green communities and protect biodiversity. 

Here’s why you may want to participate:

 🌳Enhance Your Brand’s Image: Align your business with environmental sustainability and community support, values that resonate deeply with today’s consumers.

🌳Increase Customer Loyalty: When customers see that you’re committed to giving back, they’re more likely to support your business and return.

🌳 Strengthen Your Community: The funds raised will directly contribute to local initiatives like tree-planting and community gardens, helping make the area greener and healthier for everyone.

HOW TO GET STARTED

Many point-of-sale (POS) systems and payment processors offer built-in features to enable round-up donations. Contact your POS provider to learn if this option is available or if you can integrate a third-party service that facilitates charitable donations.

POS Systems with Built-in Round-up Donation Features

If you are using any of the following POS systems, then set up will be very easy and you are closer than ever to making a positive impact in our communities. We have linked step by step instructions for your convenience. 

Third-Party Services that Facilitate Round-up Donations 

There are a couple third-party services that you can use such as the RoundUp App for ecommerce platforms, ChangeUp and Round It Up America. We recommend Round It Up America, a simple and effective platform that enables you to implement this program seamlessly and at no additional cost.

 After your account is set up, cashiers or POS system will simply prompt each customer, "Would you like to round up to help plant trees in our community with the Raw Earth Foundation?" Your customers can then respectfully choose to accept or decline.

By joining this initiative, you can make a lasting, positive impact in your community—and it’s as easy as rounding up to the nearest dollar.

Together, we can create a greener, healthier future for all! Below is more information or you can also visit www.rounditupamerica.org to get started.
