Points4Purpose Inc. Launches CommunityRewards™ in the Miami Market, Enabling Shoppers to Earn Cashback and Support Local Charities

MIAMI, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Points4Purpose is pleased to announce the launch of its AI-powered CommunityRewards™ loyalty program in the Miami market, seamlessly enabling shoppers to earn cashback on qualifying retail purchases and micro-donate a portion of their earnings to the charity of their choice.

With over 7,000 online and brick-and-mortar retail stores active on the platform, CommunityRewards™ is on a mission to transform everyday spending into opportunities for both personal fulfillment and charitable giving powered by encrypted card-linking technology, generative AI and big data. "CommunityRewards™ is delivering a first-of-its-kind program that infuses micro-charitable donations into regular, everyday financial transactions," said James Trocme, Chief Operating Officer at Points4Purpose, Inc.

The CommunityRewards™ platform is designed to make it easy for businesses, charities and shoppers to join without expensive IT integration typically required. "Simplicity is the key to scaling. We are utilizing card-linking technology which leverages existing payment infrastructure and eliminates the need for physical coupons, loyalty cards or additional steps that slow down the checkout process and dissuade customers from joining. Members simply connect their preferred credit or debit card to their CommunityRewards™ Member ID, select their preferred charity and the percentage of cashback they wish to donate. And just like that, shoppers can simultaneously begin earning cashback on qualifying purchases while supporting their favorite charity," Trocme said. 

With over one million U.S. registered charities on the CommunityRewards platform, the company is launching in Miami with four featured charities that support women, animals and childhood education. "We're partnering with Miami-Dade Animal Services, JuanFe Foundation, 305 Pink Pack and the Miami Beach Chamber Education Foundation as our local spotlight charities for our Miami launch. We're excited to promote these charities and causes while shaking up the payments and rewards sectors by fundamentally infusing micro-giving into everyday financial transactions. This means whether shoppers donate 10 cents, 50 cents, or five dollars, every time they purchase their weekly groceries or pet food, their consistent micro-donations have the capacity to create a positive impact in the South Florida community," Trocme continued.

Over the past 12 months, Points4Purpose has invested in excess of $1 Million into the platform with the goal to merge everyday financial transactions and charitable giving into a one-stop, integrated mutually beneficial ecosystem, enabling businesses big and small to participate. "The plan is now to bring the local Miami business community on board through strategic partnerships with local partners like CBS News Miami and a comprehensive 360 integrated marketing campaign that drives visibility and scalability. Featuring the tagline "How do you Cashback. Giveback?," CommunityRewards™ is showcasing the benefits of its innovative platform from the perspectives of a local business owner, shopper, and charity. Amplified through multiple digital channels, social media, influencer marketing initiatives, paid media partnerships, and proactive earned media initiatives, we believe the local community will have the opportunity to see themselves and their community benefiting from and engaging with the program. We're excited to drive awareness and increase adoption of our unique, new platform across the Miami community," Trocme said.

Points4Purpose is proud to be partnering with the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce (MBCC) and the Women's Chamber of Commerce of Miami-Dade County (WCC) to enroll local businesses into the CommunityRewards™ program. "In the U.S., businesses currently donate less than six percent of their revenue to charities. We're hoping to change that. Retail businesses can enhance their marketing and sales strategies with our platform while also providing added value to the local community by supporting meaningful charitable causes," Trocme stated.
