SmartTown Alliance™

Build business. Support nonprofits. Strengthen your community.

Encourage your community to “shop local” with the The SmartTown Alliance™ program. Main Street retailers and local nonprofits work together to mobilize citizens with this unique program.

SmartTown was created for towns of 13,000-100,000 people. Cards only work within your community’s coalition. They can be used by shoppers as young as 10, and cardholders don’t need a bank account to participate.

How does it work?

• Local businesses, schools and nonprofits distribute free SmartTown cards.
• Shoppers present the card with every purchase, even when paying with cash.
• Merchants provide a cash rebate which is split between the individual and a nonprofit of the cardholder’s choice.
• Cardholder rebates are stored on the card and can be used like cash at any participating retailer.

Businesses generate increased sales, individuals earn cash rewards, nonprofits raise unrestricted funds, and communities strengthen their local economies.
