Non-Profit Organizations

Many non-profit organizations (NPOs) today are facing a fundraising crisis due in large part to the re-direction of donations by their supporters to national and international catastrophe relief for events like 9/11, the Asian tsunami of 2004 and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In each crisis, good-hearted people responded overwhelmingly with donations to the Red Cross and other relief organizations, but this generosity has had the unintended side effect of reducing income to other charitable organizations.

Fortunately, there is a way to meet this funding challenge and provide the members of your organization with the opportunity to continue to effectively support your initiative even in these times of increasing demands upon their financial resources.

The solution is to team with SOURCE and launch a private-branded loyalty program on the Help Worldwide network program that will:

  • Provide a feature-rich program for your members that will enable them to earn rewards and special offers on any type of purchase activity at a wide variety of merchants.
  • Generate funding with each member sign-up.
  • Create an new and ongoing donation stream for your NPO that is convenient for your supporters to use while they partake in normal shopping activity.


The SOURCE Rewards Engine

The SOURCE rewards engine automatically allocates a portion of purchases made by members at qualifying Help Worldwide merchants to the member in the form of a cash rebate. The member is then able to give back all, or a pre-determined percentage, of this rebate accumulation to your NPO. In essence, the member is able to support your NPO without the requirement of any additional cash outlay. Funding is generated simply by members agreeing to share their reward earnings with your NPO.



The Help Worldwide Network More Merchants and More Members

The Help Worldwide network is based upon reciprocation, a concept borrowed from the resort development industry. The introduction of time sharing strengthened the resort development industry by expanding consumer choice at resort destinations which then increased the value proposition and profits of all participating resorts. Similarly, through loyalty reciprocation, members of loyalty programs have an expanded choice of retailers where they may earn rewards, merchants benefit from increased shopping traffic and loyalty providers are able to increase their value proposition and profitability. In essence, a consumer belonging to one loyalty provider's program can gain rewards from any merchant that is part of the Help Worldwide network.

The Help Worldwide card requires no modification to participating merchant POS equipment and it works anywhere MasterCard is accepted.



The Help Worldwide Card A Unique Member Advantage

Help Worldwide allows participating loyalty providers to offer their members the first-of-its-kind Help Worldwide card. This non-financial card can effectively track all member loyalty purchase transactions regardless of payment method (cash, check or plastic). The Help Worldwide card will feature your organizational branding and be a constant reminder to your members of the goodwill they are generating with each qualifying purchase. Immediate funding may be generated by charging a nominal fee for this card upon member enrollment.

Humanitarian Empowerment Loyalty Program (H.E.L.P)

Even if you choose not to launch a proprietary loyalty program you may still address your funding needs in a more passive manner by registering you NPO with the SOURCE Humanitarian Empowerment Loyalty Program (H.E.L.P). The objective of H.E.L.P is to build a bridge of hope between local businesses, charities and worthwhile community programs across the world.

Through H.E.L.P., all members belonging to an affiliated Help Worldwide program are given the option to donate all or a portion of their earned rebates back to any NPO registered with Help Worldwide. Your NPO will be listed on the Help Worldwide website, as well as the websites of many of our affiliated partners, and promoted to Help Worldwide members as a charitable partner of the program. Given the overall size of the Help Worldwide network, even a small amount of supporters donating their rewards back to your NPO can make a huge difference in the success of your fundraising efforts.
