It's a first-of-its-kind, revolutionary and convenient "Buy Local" mobile platform that rewards consumers for acts of kindness.
Consumers will save up to 20% per purchase using the SpendingShift app. Allow us to assist you in this effortless shifting of funds you are already spending: we will guide a percentage of each purchase to an array of charities, causes, and Community Ambassadors.
You can use the app like a credit card to pay for goods and services at participating merchants. Simply by buying through SpendingShift, you will be saving money for yourself as well as generate additional funds for the charity of your choice. It's easy, costs nothing, and is an incredible opportunity to change the way we spend!

More than 80% of the people we surveyed would actively contribute to grassroots charities and causes--if they had the money. Imagine giving money to your favorite charities or causes by simply spending smarter with SpendingShift, while saving money yourself.
Take it one step further and become an "Ambassador" and you too will be earning enough to promote your community full-time and make a personal difference.
Take a look at our Calculator to better understand how much you could contribute to these causes via SpendingShift!
SpendingShift is part of the "Buy Local" movement that is sweeping across American and the world. We are a member of 120+ networks of community leaders, 30,000+ business owners, and everyday people who want to make a difference. Together, this movement works to move the economic power back into the hands of local businesses, and works to help communities bind together.
As consumers, we spend trillions of dollars each year. An average consumer spends about $70/day.
With so much money disappearing from our pockets, how much could we contribute to charity if only a small percentage of that was redirected?
Smartphones and Tablets are now a popular and easy way to make purchases on many different platforms. Notice how everyone is looking down nowadays? Why not utilize this trend to help others?
We're creating a platform that will redirect a portion of those trillions back into your hands. Start small by shifting $5/day to support local businesses. Have lunch at your favorite cafe and spend no more than you usually would--and let SpendingShift show you your impact.
Simply pay with your phone at your favorite local businesses on the things you already spend money on.
Every Voucher you buy will generate funds for local charities as well as funds for SpendingShift Ambassadors, people like you, to help them do good.
Not only will you be helping people with your spending--you'll also save, by taking advantage of the discounts offered by our awesome merchants. You also get the satisfaction that your personal spending generates funds for other Community Ambassadors so they can do MORE.
And the best part is: it's FREE to join and FREE to use!
Simply put, we call our members Ambassadors. Ambassadors are people who want turn their every-day spending into acts of kindness and who get others to do the same. Ultimately, enabling individuals to collectively make a difference.
Community Ambassadors get rewarded for every act of kindness that they have inspired others to do. They will get an alert telling them each time something good happens. With immediate positive feedback, we'll all be inspired to do more.
Anything and everything imaginable, from your favorite restaurants to bars to auto repair shops.
Bruno Serato
Help Bruno Serato, 2011 CNN Hero,feed Millions of kids. Many restaurants across the United States, and around the world, want to help Bruno feed the under-privileged kids in their own communities, but lack the funding. With the funding from this campaign, we can help Bruno and give money to the above restaurants, so they can start NOW. After that, SpendingShift’s perpetual funding-raising platform will maintain the kindness sharing, for the long haul.
When the economy crashed, Bruno’s fine-dining restaurant business like many others fell by 40-50%, however, due to the bad economy the under-privileged kids doubled. Keeping the restaurant open and meeting financial obligations were a challenge, let alone feeding the 300-600 children every night. It was a decision whether to risk losing the restaurant or cut-back on feeding the kids. “God told me to keep feeding the kids,” so he took out a 2nd mortgage on his home.
There are so many worthy causes for SpendingShift to support, but having the fortunate opportunity to spend time with Bruno and see what he and his dedicated staffs do, we decided to put Bruno’s initiative as one our 2 “Flagship” campaigns to rally support and get funding.
Every year, nearly 7,000 healthy kids (K-12) die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), and this toll is rising annually. However, there are no federal government mandates that requires life-saving defibrillation devices in schools nationwide, like there are for Fire Extinguishers. Interestingly though, do you know how many deaths have occurred due to school fires in the past half century? Zero! None! Not a single one! That's right... yet tax payers are paying millions every year for extinguishers and inspections.
While SCA is the leading cause of deaths in children K-12 by an overwhelming margin, most school boards, and councils, cite the cost of Automatic External Defibrillator (AED's) as the reason for not demanding they be installed as prevalently as the obviously obsolete fire extinguishers.
With SpendingShift's help, and your use in your daily purchasing, my "Angel Hearts" Initiative will receive helpful funds every time you purchase using your smartphone APP. Together we can make the financial obstacles of the schools boards a non-issue by providing AED's to them for free...everywhere there are children! Kids deserve a chance at a full life!
Please support SpendingShift and help us save lives!
