INFO: Online Shopping Mall Benefits CAP Units
January 17, 2008
There is a new opportunity for units to raise much-needed funds. Civil Air Patrol has entered into a partnership with Fundlink to build a CAP Virtual Shopping Mall that allows users to benefit specific units in CAP.
Accessed through http://cap.fundlinkllc.com, customers can shop at over 1,000 different stores including Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot and more. Every time a customer makes a purchase, the retailer will donate a portion of the proceeds – from 2 to 15 percent – to the unit the user chooses. Customers can also choose to donate directly to Civil Air Patrol National Headquarters.
Anyone can shop from the site and there is no registration or login required. Select a unit from the list of beneficiaries when a store in clicked on. Donations will be sent directly to CAP National Headquarters along with a breakdown of squadrons and amounts. The money will then be sent to each wing for further disbursement.
