Find our church:
Enter the name of our church (Algonquin Christ ) in the middle box.
Time to shop:
Browse through all our categories and choose to shop from our hundreds of stores. Every time you shop the stores will donate a portion of your purchase back to your home church. Make sure to log in before going to the stores and to have an empty shopping cart before you start to shop. Also, you need to complete your purchase within 24 hours to be eligible for a donation.
What stores are participating and how much do they give back?
Under the tab Stores you can search for stores in a lot of 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 micro-donations will automatically appear in your account for all stores except for AMAZON. Amazon purchases have to be claimed. About 2 to 7 days after your purchase you can usually claim it by going to MY PAGE on UMCMARKET.org and click on AMAZON CLAIMS. If the purchase was from a third party within Amazon it usually takes up to a 7 days until you can claim it. Add the name of your item on the row with the corresponding price and your donation will soon be approved.
When will my church get the micro-donations I create?
Every time you have made a purchase you’ll get an email stating the amount of your micro-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 an accumulated value from donations that have been approved of $100 or more will receive a cheque 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’ve 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 church that you’ve selected in your account!
