These systems enable features like recurring donations, micro-donations, and embedded giving within everyday transactions.* > “Every purchase our company makes helps support a nonprofit we care about.” With **RoundUp.org**, companies can link a small business or corporate credit card to a nonprofit they support. Once linked, every purchase made with that card is automatically **rounded up to the next dollar**, and the spare change becomes a donation to the nonprofit. `` It’s a simple idea, but one that is part of a growing wave of **donation technology and nonprofit tech innovation** that is transforming how organizations receive support. Instead of relying solely on large one-time donations, nonprofits can now benefit from **recurring micro-donations generated through everyday spending.** ### How It Works Using RoundUp.org is straightforward: 1. A business chooses a nonprofit they want to support. 2. They link a company credit card to that nonprofit. 3. Every purchase made with that card rounds up to the next dollar. 4. The spare change is collected and distributed as a donation to the nonprofit. For example: A $24.62 purchase becomes $25.00, and the $0.38 difference is donated. Across dozens or hundreds of purchases each month, these small contributions add up to meaningful support. Most businesses contribute **around $30 per month**, but the value goes far beyond the dollar amount. ### A Powerful Message to Employees and Customers Companies increasingly recognize that **values matter**—both internally and externally. Employees want to work for organizations that contribute positively to society. Customers want to support businesses that care about their communities. By linking a corporate card through RoundUp.org, businesses can honestly say: > “Every purchase our company makes helps support a nonprofit we care about.” That message resonates with employees, customers, and stakeholders alike. It’s a small operational change that sends a powerful signal about what a company stands for. ### Why Recurring Micro-Donations Matter Individual donors give hundreds of billions of dollars to nonprofits each year in the United States. However, the vast majority of those gifts are **one-time donations rather than recurring contributions**. Recurring giving provides nonprofits with something they value enormously: **predictable revenue.** By turning everyday spending into small recurring donations, round-up technology helps nonprofits build a more stable financial foundation. This approach represents an emerging category of **nonprofit technology designed to create sustainable giving models** rather than relying only on periodic fundraising campaigns. ### Ideal for Small Businesses and Corporate Teams RoundUp.org works particularly well for: - small businesses - startups - real estate professionals - professional service firms - corporate departments - companies that already support a nonprofit Any organization that uses a business credit card can easily participate. Because the contributions are small and distributed across many transactions, this form of giving typically **does not require budget approval or a formal donation program.** It simply integrates charitable giving into the normal flow of business spending. ### Supporting the Nonprofits That Matter to You Businesses can choose any nonprofit they want to support. Many companies link their cards to organizations connected to: - their local community - causes employees care about - nonprofits they already sponsor - organizations where employees or leaders volunteer By connecting everyday business spending to these causes, companies create a consistent stream of support that nonprofits can rely on. ### Getting Started Takes Less Than a Minute Setting up RoundUp.org is quick and simple. Companies choose the nonprofit they want to support and link a business credit card. From that point forward, every purchase made on that card generates a small donation automatically. It takes less than a minute to get started. **Link your company card and support a nonprofit today.** [View full post](https://blog.roundup.org/turn-every-company-purchase-into-support-for-a-nonprofit) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Jed Carlson" }, "dateModified" : "2026-03-09T14:25:03.466Z", "datePublished" : "2026-03-05T22:04:57Z", "headline" : "Turn Every Company Purchase Into Support for a Nonprofit", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 1024, "url" : "https://50644549.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/50644549/ChatGPT%20Image%20Mar%206%2c%202026%2c%2010_57_38%20AM.png", "width" : 1536 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://blog.roundup.org/turn-every-company-purchase-into-support-for-a-nonprofit", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 60, "url" : "/hs/hsstatic/content_shared_assets/static-1.4092/img/default-amp-logo.png", "width" : 60 }, "name" : "RoundUp.org Blog" } } ```
