Cash for Causes is a great fundraising opportunity because people purchase groceries all year long.

You don’t have to ask people to make donations or buy extra products. Simply ask them to shop with gift cards instead of cash or credit!

 Cash for Causes is easy.

Here’s how it works:

1. Your organization purchases TOPS Living Here Giving Here gift cards from our Gift Card Department at a 5% discount (minimum order - $500).

2. You resell them to your group members, family, neighbors and friends who use the gift cards just like cash when they do their grocery shopping at TOPS.
