"Our customers love seeing where their spare change goes."

Local Business Partner
Partnership Advantage

Zero Cost. Maximum Impact.

The box sits on your counter. Customers drop in loose change. Others scan the QR code and give online. Over months, those coins and digital donations add up.

For your business, it signals to customers that you care about something beyond profit. Research consistently shows customers prefer businesses that support charitable causes.

No cost. No obligation. No disruption. You place the box, NRF handles everything else.

Placement Locations

Welcoming Every Establishment

Shops and Retail — At the till or checkout.

Restaurants, Cafes, and Takeaways — Near the till or by the exit.

Barbers, Salons, and Studios — Waiting area or reception.

Mosques and Community Centres — Entrance, foyer, or gathering area.

Offices and Workplaces — Staff kitchen, break room, or reception.

Clinics and Waiting Rooms — Where patients spend time waiting.

If people visit your premises, a charity box belongs there.

    Your Counter. Their Lifeline.

    It takes up less space than a napkin holder. It costs you nothing. Every coin your customers drop in becomes food, water, shelter, or education for someone who has nothing.
