"It's like making a donation
that does not cost you a cent!"



"Why would I NOT use this for everything I buy on the Internet?"

How do I get to my group's online mall if I lose the link?
You can find your group's online mall by going to our Groups Tab and selecting that cause from the list. But the best way to make sure your buying always helps is to bookmark or add the page to your favorites.


What if I do not need to shop for anything today?
Even if you are not shopping today, there are two things you can do to support your cause.

1) Add the Online Mall to your BOOKMARKS / FAVORITES so you
   can quickly find it the next time you do shop online; and

2) Share the page with your friends and family so when they shop they can    also support your cause.


How do I share the online mall with my friends and family?
Use the "share" button at your group's online mall. You can share with family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors using social networks such as Facebook or Twitter, or you can forward it via regular email.

What about privacy?
OURewards adheres to very strict guidelines regarding privacy. Unless specifically authorized by you, we do not sell, license, exchange or distribute any identifiable information about you to any outside party, including the cause you are supporting. Please refer to our privacy policy for more information.


Can I support more than one cause?
Absolutely. You choose which cause(s) you want to support every time you shop through a group's online mall.


What types of causes are using OURewards to raise funds?
Click here for some examples of clients that are using the Everyday Buying Program to support their worthy causes.

What is the Everyday Buying Program?
OURewards believes that every worthy cause should have the funding it needs to operate and make a difference. We created Online Malls/the Everyday Buying Program to make it possible for groups to raise money beyond donation drives, events and sales. The Everyday Buying Program gives you an easy way to help by transforming your regular online purchases into financial support for your group's cause.

How does it work?
Shop for merchandise via the links on your group's online mall; the merchants pay a commission for every purchase. You have one-click access to the products you usually shop for online, from merchants you trust, at regularly advertised prices - including sale items and special promotions. Share the online mall with your family/friends and encourage them to shop and share too!

What does it cost to use the online mall?
Shopping through your group's online mall is free. It's an easy way to help the cause you care about, whenever you want.

Will I pay more for items I purchase through the online mall?
No. You pay the advertised price, even for items that are on sale or offered at special discounts! What is important to remember is that anything you buy, big or small, will earn money for your cause.

Do I have to register to use the mall?
No sign-up or registration is required.

Is this going to add a lot of time to my shopping?
No. It's just one click. Simply start at your group's online mall and shop like you always do!

Is there a minimum purchase required?
No. From small purchases such as music downloads, movie tickets or gift cards, to large ticket items like TVs or other major electronics, your group will earn a commission from the merchant whenever you shop through your group's Online Mall.


What brands can I buy?
Just about any brand you can think of, for items like electronics, clothing, shoes, books, flowers, music, and much more. See the stores

What's the commission amount my group will earn?
The amount earned for each purchase is set by the merchant, and a single merchant can pay different percentages for different items they sell. Typically referral fees range from 3-15 %. What is important for you to remember is that EVERY purchase, whether it is big or small, earns money for your cause.
