What is ShopforSyracuse.com?
ShopforSyracuse.com is an online mall that provides
listed organizations and causes, the ability to receive donations of up to 20%, simply for using one of the links on our site when
shopping online.
In short, ShopforSyracuse.com is an online rewards program that operates in
similar fashion to the airline miles cards and other cash back rewards
programs offered by major credit card companies - but to receive a donation,
any purchase must use a link found on ShopforSyracuse.com.
ShopforSyracuse.com was started with the belief that as online shopping
became more pervasive, organizations and causes can benefit from aggregating
small portions of online purchases to make a difference for that cause.
By aggregating lots of individual purchases, and getting donations with each purchase, this spending can potentially
result in a significant increase in the coffers of an organization - having
a direct and meaningful impact on the ability of an organization to
accomplish its mission - all at NO COST to organizations or to the
supporters!
In addition, ShopforSyracuse.com believes the user should have the ability to
choose to receive a cashback rebate for their own use as well.
Because of this, each time a user shops online, they have the ability to
CHOOSE to support an organization of their choice, or to keep the rebate for
themselves. Individual cash back rewards are available by using
www.GivingTrain.com.
