PTP would love to run on pure love and good karam but until Whuffie becomes the international medium we need the cold hard greenbacks.
Listed here are various FundRaising ideas.

How it works from the Contributors end-
- they register any one or all of their existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program.
- participating merchants will make contributions to their chosen group, thats us, based on purchases made using those cards. Purchases are tracked and available to them online, so they can see just how much they are contributing.
From PTPs end-
- get memebers to register thier cards and use the merchants participating
- the merchants then give x% (usualy around 5%) of the purcahses to the group
- every 60 days we get a check
Downsides
- from what Im reading they are only acepting groups with a tie in to education and schools.
- privacy folks will hate this.
- they charge a fee , 15% I think, from what you generate.
