About Local Perx

The Last Fundraising Platform You'll Ever Need

Traditional fundraisers last a few weeks. Local Perx is designed to keep supporting your organization all year long.

Local Perx is a completely digital fundraising and local-savings platform connecting nonprofit organizations, schools, teams, families, supporters, and local businesses through one easy-to-manage system.

There are no boxes to deliver, products to store, paper cards to distribute, or sales totals to calculate manually. Every membership purchase, upgrade, renewal, referral, merchant offer, and eligible payout is recorded within the Local Perx platform.

Your organization receives immediate fundraising support. Your members receive valuable local savings. Participating businesses gain meaningful exposure to customers who want to support their community.

One Platform. One Connected Community. Year-Round Impact.

Fundraising Without the Traditional Fundraising Hassle

Most fundraising programs require an organization to purchase products, manage inventory, distribute order forms, collect money, and hope everything sells.

What Local Perx removes

Local Perx replaces that outdated process with a digital experience built for today's families and communities.

  • No physical discount cards to purchase.
  • No upfront inventory expense.
  • No unsold products.
  • No paper order forms.
  • No cash for teachers or coordinators to manage.
  • No complicated delivery days.
  • No manual sales reporting.
  • No need to start over with a different fundraiser every year.

Every participant can receive a personalized fundraising page, unique QR code, and trackable sharing link. Supporters can purchase a Local Perx membership securely from their phone, tablet, or computer.

The membership is activated digitally, the sale is credited to the correct participant and organization, and authorized dashboards are updated automatically.

Supporting your community should be simple. Local Perx makes it simple.

One membership

One Membership Creates Three Local Wins

1

Nonprofits Raise More

Every eligible membership purchase, upgrade, and renewal generates support for a participating nonprofit organization, school, team, or community group.

2

Members Save More

Members receive a digital wallet containing discounts and benefits from participating local businesses and eligible online retailers.

3

Local Businesses Reach More Customers

Participating businesses can introduce their products and services to members who are intentionally supporting their local community.

Members save. Businesses grow. Nonprofits earn. Communities become stronger.

More Than a One-Time Fundraiser

A traditional fundraiser usually ends when the campaign deadline arrives. Local Perx creates both immediate fundraising activity and an opportunity for continuing revenue.

During the prize period

Organizations can operate a focused prize campaign—such as a 30-day fall fundraiser—while keeping approved fundraising pages open throughout the year. Eligible purchases may count toward:

  • Student goals.
  • Team and class goals.
  • Leaderboards.
  • Top-seller recognition.
  • Pizza parties and group rewards.
  • Individual prizes.
  • Other organization-approved incentives.

After the prize period ends, supporters can still purchase memberships through the participant's page. Those purchases can continue to support the participant and organization, but they will not change the results of a completed prize competition.

Local Perx combines the urgency of a traditional campaign with the long-term value of year-round digital fundraising.

Membership Tiers Create More Ways to Raise

Local Perx is not limited to one basic membership option. Organizations can benefit from multiple approved membership levels, expanded benefit packages, and eligible membership upgrades. When an eligible upgrade is completed, the applicable portion can generate additional revenue for the organization.

  • Initial membership purchases.
  • Higher membership-level selections.
  • Membership upgrades.
  • Annual membership renewals.
  • Year-round purchases outside the prize period.
  • Future purchases shared through participant links.
  • Additional family or household memberships where offered.

Instead of asking families to participate in several unrelated fundraising programs, Local Perx creates multiple revenue opportunities inside one connected platform.

Renewals Keep Supporting the Community

Local Perx memberships are designed to provide value for one year and renew annually unless the member cancels. When a membership renews, the applicable future fundraising credit continues supporting the organization connected to that participant.

If the participant later transfers to a different approved school, team, or nonprofit organization, future eligible purchases and renewals can follow the participant's new organization after the transfer is approved.

Previous sales and payouts remain with the organization that originally earned them. Future support follows the participant's current approved organization.

A child may participate in elementary-school band today, middle-school athletics later, and a high-school organization in the future—all through the same parent-managed Local Perx account.

Branded Merch Stores Extend the Fundraiser Year-Round

Organizations can offer approved branded merchandise—shirts, hoodies, hats, mugs, and more—through a dedicated store that stays open before, during, and after the prize period.

How the merch program works

Each organization selects approved designs, products, and colors. Items are produced and shipped on demand, so there is no inventory to buy, store, or risk going unsold.

  • On-demand printing and fulfillment—no upfront inventory costs.
  • Every item is branded with the organization's name, logo, and colors.
  • The store is open year-round, not just during the active prize period.
  • Monthly drops create urgency with limited-time designs and countdowns.
  • Each order is attributed to the participant or organization that shared the link.
  • Profits from every sale count toward the organization's fundraising goal.

Supporters can buy a shirt for a student, gear for the family, or a gift for a fan. Every purchase supports the organization while giving supporters something tangible to show their pride.

Merch turns a one-time donation into wearable community pride that keeps earning all year.

For Nonprofit Organizations, Schools, and Teams

Raise money without spending money on inventory. Organizations do not need to purchase physical cards or products before beginning a fundraiser.

Program structure

For the standard $10 Local Perx membership, the participating organization can receive $5 from each eligible completed purchase under the standard program structure. Applicable membership tiers and upgrades can create additional earning opportunities.

Create and manage campaigns online

  • Establish the fundraising purpose.
  • Enter the amount the organization needs to raise.
  • Set the active prize period.
  • Confirm the number of participating students.
  • Create coordinators, teachers, coaches, or group leaders.
  • Assign participants to the correct coordinator.
  • Select participating businesses.
  • Approve organization branding and campaign content.
  • Monitor campaign performance.
  • View transactions, refunds, reversals, and distributions.
  • Download financial reports and annual statements.

See progress as it happens

  • Total membership sales.
  • Dollars raised.

  • Year-round sales.
  • Referral and social-media sources.
  • Pending, eligible, paid, refunded, or reversed transactions.

If an organization wants to generate $10,000 in total membership sales and has 100 eligible students, Local Perx can calculate a goal of $100—or ten $10 memberships—for each student. The organization establishes the campaign goal and participant count.

Every participant

How Local Perx Benefits Every Participant

Authorized users see only the information appropriate for their role, with clear accountability recorded for every important action.

  • Add or invite eligible participants.
  • Issue private enrollment codes.
  • Organize participants by class, team, or group.
  • Monitor individual and group progress.
  • View official goals and prize-period standings.
  • Identify participants who may need help.
  • Access only the information their role permits.

Parents and Guardians

One parent-managed dashboard can support multiple children, even when they participate in different schools, teams, or nonprofit organizations.

  • Link each child to the correct organization.
  • Review each child's official goal, sales, and progress.
  • Manage privacy settings and optional photographs.

Students and Participants

Each participant can receive a professionally branded, mobile-friendly fundraising page built around their goal.

  • The organization being supported and the campaign's purpose.
  • The participant's approved display name.
  • An optional guardian-approved photograph.
  • The membership price and participating local businesses.
  • Assigned goal, current progress, and prize-period countdown.
  • A clear purchase button.
  • Safe sharing options managed by an adult.

Members and Supporters

A Local Perx purchase is more than a contribution. It provides access to a digital membership designed to help members save at participating businesses.

  • Support a participating student or organization.
  • Access a digital membership wallet.
  • Discover nearby businesses and browse offers by category.
  • Redeem participating merchant offers.
  • Track redemption history and view estimated savings.
  • Select an eligible welcome voucher when offered.
  • Review renewal information and cancel automatic renewal online.

Participating Local Businesses

Businesses remain in control of their own offers and can change, pause, restrict, or discontinue them, subject to applicable law and the Merchant Offer Policy.

  • Create and update the business profile and locations.
  • Submit offers with restrictions and exclusions.
  • Schedule, pause, replace, or discontinue an offer.
  • Add authorized staff.
  • Review offer views, redemptions, and member engagement.
  • Support selected nonprofit organizations.

County, State, and National Representatives

  • Track eligible membership sales, upgrades, and renewals.
  • Review pending and completed earnings.

  • Review privacy-safe performance reports.

Designed with children's privacy in mind

Children do not need personal email addresses, telephone numbers, payment information, or independent accounts. Parents and authorized organizations control the information displayed publicly. Photographs are optional and require guardian approval, and first-name-only or other privacy-protective display options can be used.

Reach Customers Who Want to Shop Locally

Local Perx gives participating businesses a direct connection to members who have already chosen to support their community.

No complicated redemption system

Local Perx is digital. Members can present a live digital redemption screen from their phone. For the initial system, merchants do not need to purchase special scanners or point-of-sale equipment. Additional employee confirmation or security tools can be enabled when needed.

Community support with measurable results

  • Offer views.
  • Member interest.
  • Redemptions.
  • Popular offers.
  • Participating locations.
  • Approximate customer savings.
  • Campaign and community engagement.

Accountability

Complete Digital Tracking From Purchase to Payout

Local Perx is designed to replace guesswork with accountability. If a transaction is refunded, the system can reverse the applicable fundraising credit, representative earnings, Prize Reserve contribution, and Local Perx allocation while preserving a complete audit history.

Every eligible transaction can record

  • The membership purchased.
  • The participant supported.
  • The organization supported.
  • The campaign and membership level.
  • The purchase date.
  • The referral source.
  • The payment status.
  • Applicable financial allocations.
  • Refund or chargeback activity.
  • Renewal history.
  • Payout status.

Financial reports may show

  • Total membership payments.
  • Payment-processing fees.
  • Refunds and chargebacks.
  • Nonprofit distributions.
  • County representative payments.
  • State representative payments.
  • National representative payments.
  • Prize Reserve contributions.
  • Local Perx allocations.
  • Pending and completed payouts.

Better for Fundraising. Better for Business. Better for Members.

Local Perx is different because it does not treat fundraising, membership savings, and local-business promotion as separate programs. It brings them together.

Built for Local Communities—and Designed to Grow

Local Perx begins at the local level: one organization, one group of families, and one network of participating businesses. The platform is designed to expand across:

  • Multiple nonprofit organizations.
  • Multiple schools and teams.
  • Multiple counties.
  • Multiple states.
  • National representative territories.
  • Future international markets.

Its brandable, multi-organization structure allows each participating organization to maintain its identity while benefiting from the technology, payments, reporting, privacy, and operational support of Local Perx. Members can access the PWA from modern web, tablet, and mobile devices without downloading a traditional application from an app store.

Our Purpose

Local Perx exists to make community fundraising more sustainable. We believe:

  • Nonprofit organizations should be able to raise money without risking money on inventory.
  • Families should have modern tools that make fundraising easier to share and manage.
  • Supporters should receive meaningful value for their purchase.
  • Local businesses should be able to support their communities while reaching new customers.
  • Every participant should be able to see the impact they are creating.

That is what makes Local Perx more than a fundraiser. It is a community-growth platform designed to keep working year after year.
