We sincerely appreciate your generosity at checkout! All roundup funds are a result of customer giving so we absolutely could not do this without you.
Everyone who rounds up at checkout donates to our monthly recipient, with 100% of the proceeds going to that organization. No skimming, no fees, and no co-op tax breaks.
Also, we understand completely if the answer is no. Our wonderful cashiers will ask but there is never any judgement if you’d rather not roundup.

How it works
For any monthly roundup, 100% of the proceeds go to the organization. You can round up to the nearest dollar (its namesake), or you can round up more. That can be an extra dollar all the way up to $100 per purchase. If you’d like to make a donation larger than $100, you can visit the organization’s website.
