How It Works

Welcome to Shop4MyCommunity.com™! By coming together in purchasing power we can raise millions of dollars to revitalize local cultural, social, educational, recreational, and environmental programs.

Shop4MyCommunity.com™ is a shopping portal that allows you to help strengthen and enrich your community by capturing a percentage of every dollar you spend. With over 300 participating top-name national and local retailers, you won’t have to compromise on price or quality to support your community. You pay nothing extra. Plus, it's registration and hassle free.

1. Select your community or the city/town where your favorite organization is located. .

2. Choose an organization you want to benefit by simply clicking on the name of the organization. 

3. Click on the mall entrance to start shopping. Shop by category or by store name from our A-Z store listing. Click on any of the store logos and you will be taken directly to that retailer's website.

It's that simple.

Shop4MyCommunity.com™ Rewards Program will rebate up to 30% of every dollar you spend to any local program you choose. Rebates vary among Participating Retailers. Each time you shop at a participating retailer through Shop4MyCommunity.com™, the organization you choose will automatically receive the full percentage listed for that retailer.

If you can't find the organization you’re looking for, you can use the Submit an Organization button on your community’s organization page. You can support any local organization that accepts contributions and whose programs or services benefit the common good.

Shop4MyCommunity.com™ sends checks on a monthly basis to organizations who have generated a minimum of $25 in rebates. Given the delay in receiving information from our retailers, it may take up to four weeks to update the amount designated for a given organization. Note: Some retailers allow for returns, up to 90 days, before a rebate can be generated.

Virtually every item you purchase through Shop4MyCommunity.com™ can earn a contribution. We cannot, however, pay a rebate contribution based on taxes, shipping, any portion of the purchase that constitutes a fee or other charge, a purchase that is paid for with coupons, gift certificates, a store credit, or when payments have not been received by the retailer. In addition, a few cases where merchants have specifically noted exceptions are listed below:

Merchant Related Exceptions

Any purchase in which the transaction is substantially completed by telephone or by a salesperson does not earn a contribution.

Returns are subject to the return policy of the retailer from whom you purchased. If you return or cancel an item, any contribution you earned from the purchase will be reversed. In the process of an exchange, the merchant cancels the old order and replaces it with a new one. When doing this, a new contribution is not earned unless you make sure all returns are final and that it is not an exchange. Have the merchant refund your credit card, and then re-order through Shop4MyCommunity.com™ to receive the contribution.

Gift Certificates: Shop4MyCommunity.com™ can’t pay contributions for the portion of a purchase that is made with gift cards or certificates. Nor can we pay contributions for the purchase of gift certificates or gift cards, with the exception of those purchased at Home Depot.
