Local Savings…Local Good

The Carman-Ainsworth Education Foundation (http://www.carman.k12.mi.us//Domain/33  a non-profit 501(c)(3) established to support students, staff, and community) has been hard at work developing a new “daily deal” website that saves you money. It’s called Community Link Online at http://CommunityLinkOnline.org.  It supports school organizations and local businesses. Businesses will soon be posting savings on the website.

You Need to Opt In

We respect your privacy and want to make sure we are only sending you messages you want to receive. If you want to receive emails about specials from local businesses, please click here to sign up! Our goal is to have a minimum of 500 individuals sign-up. Please help by forwarding this information to your friends and family.

How it Works

·         Local businesses will place deals on Community Link Online for purchase. (For instance a deal might be 2 large pizzas for $10.)

·         You purchase the deal on our website and redeem your voucher at the local business. (You can also give it as a gift.)

·         When you buy a deal you can choose what school group gets a portion of the purchase.

That’s it. It’s a win-win-win!

Where Does the Money Go?

The business gets 55%. The remainder is split 50/50 between the school group you choose and the Carman-Ainsworth Education Foundation. Currently, our school groups include:

·         Carman-Ainsworth Band & Orchestra Boosters

·         Carman-Ainsworth Football Parents Club

·         Carman-Ainsworth Robotics Programs.

These groups and other volunteers represent our current “sales ambassadors,” but we hope to add more school groups and volunteers soon. If you want to get involved with Community Link Online and help support causes for kids, please contact the Carman-Ainsworth Education Foundation at sales@communitylinkonline.org. You do not have to live in the Carman-Ainsworth Community School district to participate. School groups and businesses from other areas can participate too. They, in turn, will support their local students and communities with our Community Link Online non-profit fundraising platform. There is beauty in giving!
