OURewards Selected as Preferred Vendor by the Jewish Community Center Association
OURewards' Impact Shopping program is no-cost way for members to directly support programs that bring vitality to their community
Online, October 8, 2013 (Newswire.com) - OURewards, the technology service company that enables organizations to add Internet commerce to their fundraising efforts, announced today that it has been designated as a Preferred Vendor by the Jewish Community Center (JCC) Association, which encompasses almost 350 Jewish community centers, YM-YWHA, and day and resident camp sites, totaling over one million members across North America.
The JCC Association's Preferred Vendor program provides value to local JCCs by engaging and qualifying firms that are looking to reach these communities. Through this process, JCC Association builds relationships with suppliers and companies and selects appropriate vendors that offer JCCs preferred rates, superior service, training and education programs, and competitive payment solutions.
"We're happy to welcome OURewards to our roster of Preferred Vendors," says Kelly Rainey, corporate sponsorship and marketing manager of JCC Association. "Their Impact Shopping program can be an excellent fit for our JCCs because it is no-cost way for members to directly support the programs that bring vitality to their community. The enthusiasm of JCC members can be a great source of energy; OURewards provides the technology to transform this into ongoing funding."
As a Preferred Vendor, and in close cooperation with the JCC Association, OURewards is now marketing its Impact Shopping program to individual JCCs across the country. The Impact Shopping program generates sales commissions on purchases made by JCC supporters, and along with advertising revenues, this money will flow back to JCCs to support their work. JCC Association is also including information about OURewards in its regular monthly communications to the leadership teams of the local JCCs.
"We are delighted to be working with the Jewish Community Centers, because they perform an extraordinary service that builds the social fabric of their home community," says Harry Soza, CEO of OURewards. "JCCs provide programs and venues for all ages and all backgrounds: from fitness and recreation activities, to social, educational and cross-cultural events. JCC members and families are exactly the type of engaged, active community we want to serve."
