We sincerely appreciate your generosity at checkout! The Co-op is merely the collector – all roundup funds are a result of customer giving so we absolutely could not do this without you.
We have folks that round up a few cents, some who do $20-$100, and some who take a pass. All are perfectly fine. We never want anyone to feel pressured, but we will continue to ask since so many are so generous.

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.
