What stores are participating and how much do they give back?
Under the tab Stores you can search for stores in many different categories. Next to every store you will see the percentage that they have agreed to pay back every time you make a purchase. Your donations will automatically appear in your account for all stores except for AMAZON. Amazon purchases are directly donated to your church from Amazon and will be registered as donated from “Amazon”.
When will my church get the donations I create?
Every time you have made a purchase you’ll get an email stating the amount of your donation. Depending on the store and if they have the item in stock or not, it can take up to 7 days for them to reply. Every month the church with a accumulated value from donations that have been approved of $100 or more will receive a check from UMCmarket. If the accumulated total is less than $100, it will roll-over to the next month until the accumulated amount reaches $100.
How is it possible
We’ve partnered with hundreds of stores who have agreed to give back a portion of your purchase. It’s their way of saying “thank you” to UMCmarket for referring customers to them. The money that you get back goes automatically as a donation to the ministry that you have selected in your account.
Thank you for supporting your United Methodist ministry!
The more people that know about UMCmarket, the more your church or ministry benefits. So, spread the word!
