Welcome to CommUnity!
CommUnity celebrates New Zealand’s greatest strength ‘Supporting One Another’
CommUnity is a revolutionary new company with charitable purposes that aims to leverage 21st century tools to provide a better way for community groups, shoppers and merchants to mutually benefit one another. CommUnity is about raising money on a continuous basis without taking time away from the business of merchants or the work of community groups. Using smartphones and the internet, CommUnity takes on the work of fostering and maintaining the relationships between your community group and its benefactors; between your business and its customers; between you and your community. CommUnity frees you up to focus on what is truly important to you.
CommUnity is free for individual members or community groups to join. Community groups register with CommUnity, CommUnity Members can then select up to three registered community groups to support with their spending at participating merchants. Merchants pay a small annual listing fee to register with CommUnity and will benefit by being added to our list of participating merchants and being actively promoted to CommUnity Members. CommUnity Merchants also benefit by forming stronger bonds with their local communities, differentiating themselves from global brands and retailers who have few incentives to give back at the community level.
Add to this the ability to use the CommUnity dashboard to see exactly how much business their participation is generating, freedom from complex card-based loyalty schemes and their related costs, and finally having a positive and constructive answer for all those heartfelt requests for sponsorship and it’s not hard to see that with CommUnity, everyone wins!
CommUnity’s structure reaches out into the communities to encourage people to be involved in CommUnity. Our program encourages people to support participation in New Zealand’s community groups so that New Zealanders will continue to support each other and help keep the population engaged, aware and healthy.
We see CommUnity primarily as a tool for enabling and enhancing relationships. Healthy relationships require communication so, whether you are a community group or charity, a participating business, or simply a shopper looking to do as much good as possible with your money, CommUnity helps put you in touch and keep you in touch with one another.
Join CommUnity today, then simply search, find and shop at CommUnity merchants to help your registered community groups, clubs, teams, schools, charities thrive – it is really that simple!
