In today’s world, consumers care about more than just what a business sells. They care about what a business stands for. That’s why Rewardola, a smart engagement and loyalty app designed for local businesses, is helping shops, service providers, and restaurants build deeper, more meaningful relationships in their community.
One standout way Rewardola achieves this is through its Non-profit Sponsorship Program, an exclusive feature available only to businesses on the Rewardola platform.
Let’s dive into how this program works, why it matters, and how real businesses are already using it to support powerful local causes.
What makes this feature unique?
Rewardola gives its participating businesses the opportunity to go beyond traditional marketing by sponsoring non-profit organizations directly within the app. Each sponsorship:
- Highlights the business and non-profit in a special “Support Your Community” section
- Gives customers insight into local causes tied to the businesses they frequent
- Builds long-term goodwill between businesses and their communities
- Promotes trust, loyalty, and local pride
And here’s the key detail: this opportunity is only available to businesses that are active on Rewardola. It’s not a paid ad space or an external add-on. It’s built into the platform to align business visibility with community impact.
Local Business + Local Non-profit = Local Impact

How it works in the app
Rewardola app users can visit the Non-profit section to view all these causes and their sponsoring businesses. When they tap on a non-profit, they:
- See who the sponsor is
- Learn more about the nonprofit’s mission
- Can visit the business page right from the app
- Choose to support both the cause and the company when making local purchases
This creates a circular benefit loop; more visibility leads to more awareness, which leads to more community impact.
Why does this matter to local businesses?
For participating businesses, the value goes far beyond visibility. By sponsoring a nonprofit
- You position your business as a community leader
- You gain goodwill with socially conscious customers
- You show that your values go beyond profit
At a time when consumers choose brands that reflect their values, this kind of authentic impact is priceless.

Rewardola isn’t just helping local businesses grow, it’s helping them give back.
