Talking to Your Organization About FlipGive

Curious about starting a FlipGive program for your group but need to win over stakeholders, leadership, or board members? We can help you make the case!

Unlike traditional fundraisers, FlipGive is a cashback fundraiser that doesn't require selling, event planning, or donation asks, making it the easiest, most practical way to raise money. Earn 24/7, 365 days a year—without the extra effort.

How do you earn money with FlipGive?

There are two ways to earn cashback with FlipGive. You can:

• Buy and use eGift cards for shopping, dining, or gifting, with hundreds of brands to choose from
• Shop online across hundreds of retailers

Simply shop and dine as usual and earn a percentage back with every purchase. It's that simple. 

eGift cards

Buy eGift cards to pay for purchases like groceries, gas, coffee, clothing, and household goods. You'll get the full value of the eGift card every time, and it's easy to use eGift cards on the go with FlipGive's mobile app. 

For example, if you buy a $100 Old Navy eGift card with 5% earnings, your organization will earn $5.

Shop online

You can also earn when you shop online with participating retailers. This opens the door to even more brands and earning opportunities.

And, if a brand offers both gift cards and online earnings with FlipGive, you can combine to earn twice on the same purchase!

Say you're making a $100 purchase at OldNavy.com, which is offering 2% back when you shop online through FlipGive. By clicking 'Shop Now' to activate online earnings, you'll earn $2 once you complete your purchase.

At checkout, you can use the $100 Old Navy eGift card you just bought, bringing your fundraising total to $7 for your team.

Many programs also combine FlipGive with other fundraisers to meet their earning goals even faster. Consider the following ideas:

• Pair FlipGive with other fundraising ideas – For example, if you're running a restaurant fundraiser, have participants pay for their meals with eGift cards so you can earn money through FlipGive and food sales.
  
  
• Gift exchanges – During the holidays, encourage members to give eGift cards, or purchase gifts with eGift cards. Spread the love while contributing towards the fundraising goal.

How does FlipGive stand up to other fundraisers?

The most popular fundraisers are typically event-based or sales-based. Think: 

• Candy bar sales
• Cookie dough sales
• Pizza sales
• Bake sales
• Car washes
• Concerts or talent shows
• Holiday bazaars
• Dinner parties or galas
• Raffles

Event fundraisers mainly rely on ticket sales, whereas sales-based fundraisers require selling items at a markup. The profit margin on sales-based fundraisers is around 30 to 40%.

Sales- and event-based fundraisers are more demanding than they appear. Between the time and money that goes into planning, recruiting and coordinating volunteers, and hidden costs like inventory storage, what seems like a straightforward effort can quickly eat into your earnings.

FlipGive sidesteps all of that. It doesn't just hold up against traditional fundraisers—it outperforms them.

How do we get started with FlipGive?

It's easy and it's free—here's how:

• Step 1: Enroll your team and wait for your organization's approval and verification.
  
  
• Step 2: Once approved, you can invite participants (from anywhere in the country) to join your program.
  
  
• Step 3: Start shopping and earning! The funds raised can be used for general needs, or distributed to families for savings or fee reduction.
