The "Currency of Giving" Launches in Central Florida

Orlando, FL –  (Aug 22, 2011) - Give Back Central Florida, an initiative of Give Back Nation, recently launched the Give Back (GB) Central Florida Membership Program benefiting non-profits, businesses and donors - creating a "Circle of Winning" within the community.  This "Currency of Giving" is a new fundraising medium that integrates with the non-profit’s fundraising efforts in order to increase their immediate and perpetual fundraising needs, while increasing top-of-mind visibility 365/24/7.

How does the “Currency of Giving” work?

For the $20 annual fee, Central Florida residents can purchase the Give Back Central Florida Membership Kits from participating charities or online at www.givebackmembership.com. Once the membership card is activated, donors can display their membership cards for immediate savings on travel, shopping, dining, and entertainment at hundreds of participating merchants. The Give Back (GB) Merchant Directory is conveniently displayed on the website or, for smart phone users, on the free GB Layer App. Net proceeds from the annual GB Membership fees go to the non-profit involved.

Merchants, who join the Give Back (GB) Merchant Network,  gain additional exposure and see an increase in traffic from the thousands of GB Members. It also allows businesses to set aside short shelf life advertising for a 365/24/7 advertising alternative. For a nominal marketing fee, most of which goes to the selected charity, they place their corporate logos on the annual membership card, the card jacket and the charity landing page at http://www.givebackmembership.com.

“We look forward to working with Give Back Central Florida to raise awareness and funds for our organization,” states Joni Smith, Chief Professional Officer of The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties.  “We appreciate the opportunity to partner with our area merchants and businesses through this program as well.”

“The GB Membership Program was designed to help charities raise funds more efficiently while continuously exposing their causes,” states Kyle Gregory, President of Give Back Nation.  “So much time and energy are put into labor-intensive events; creating marginal returns. The GB Membership Program can be integrated into those events or even be a valid alternative. By year end, we intend to distribute over 30,000 Give Back Central Florida Memberships through selected charities, creating more than $600,000 in new fundraising dollars while boosting our local economy by motivating new spending."
