Donating Points to nonprofits

Donating Points to Nonprofits

One of the most powerful ways your business can give back through TasteTXK is by donating Points to local nonprofits. Points are more than just shopper rewards—they’re a tool for strengthening community ties. By contributing Points, your business supports fundraising campaigns, volunteer incentives, and cause-driven promotions that resonate with locals .

Why Donate Points?

• Community Impact: Help nonprofits engage volunteers, donors, and supporters with meaningful rewards.

• Goodwill & Branding: Position your business as a community-first destination.

• Customer Loyalty: Locals are more likely to support businesses that support their causes.

• Flexibility: You decide how many Points to donate and which groups to support.

Step 1: Access the Donation Tool

1. Log in to TasteTXK Workspaces → Destinations Dashboard.

2. Go to Points Management → Donate Points.

3. Select from the list of approved nonprofits on the platform.

Step 2: Choose How Many Points to Donate

• Enter the total number of Points you want to give.

• Donations are final once confirmed .

• Nonprofits can use Points to:
  
  

  • Reward volunteers for service hours.

  • Incentivize donors during campaigns.

  • Distribute Points to supporters to encourage engagement.

• 
  

Example:

A restaurant donates 2,000 Points to a local food pantry. Volunteers receive 100 Points each for helping with a weekend event.

Step 3: Promote Your Donation

• Add the donation details to your storefront bio or announcements.

• Example: “For every voucher redeemed in October, we’re donating 50 Points to Helping Hands Texarkana.”

• Co-host events with nonprofits where Points serve as both rewards and fundraising tools .

Step 4: Monitor Impact

Step 5: Best Practices
