Major retailers want to give St. Agnes money.
The program is called THE "MERCHANT CASH CARD PROGRAM" it is a fundraising program that works while you shop. The program is being used around the country by schools, churches and charitable organizations.
Cash cards is simply a saying that means substitute money. In other words, cash cards are cards available from national and local retailers. They are the same gift cards that you buy at the store as gifts.
St. Agnes benefits due to the fact that participating retailers agree to sell their cards to non-profit organizations at a discount. Families like yours buy the cards at full face value from St. Agnes, redeem them at full face value in the stores and St.Agnes keeps the difference.
The program is very exciting because everyone wins:
1. You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling, and all parishioners may participate at no cost.
2. St.Agnes gets a much needed regular source of revenue.
3. The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business.
