We launched our new Group Accounts fundraising scheme last month and already 11 charities and schools have signed up. The concept is simple – a charity or a school opens a Group Account with us, and you as an individual member of Green Rewards is then able to set your points account to automatically donate points you earn directly into the charity or school points account. At the end of each year we convert all the points in a charity or school’s account into a cash donation. You have the option to automatically donate 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the points you earn on purchases in our green shop.
Issy Griffin from Greenpeace Environmental Trust says, “We’re really excited to be involved in this scheme as we are always keen to encourage our supporters to shop ethically, with a positive impact on the planet. By donating their Green Points, shoppers are also raising much needed funds for our work.” Current charities and schools with Group Accounts includes:-
- Breakthrough Breast Cancer
- Brindishe Green Primary School
- George Greens School
- Global Action Plan
- Greenpeace Environmental Trust
- Holy Trinity Clapham
- Interpal
- Kids Company
- Queen Mary, University of London
- Sustrans
- Trees for Cities
To set your points account to donate, just log in, go to ‘account’ (top right) and click ‘points management’.
