Lowell Mims, Ernie Land & ProvisionRx Release A Free Pharmacy Discount Card That Helps Charities Raise Money and Meets A Humanitarian Need at the Same Time
PRWEB Released: August 15, 2011
People hardest hit by economic times such as those on fixed incomes that are insured or uninsured makes this an opportune time to offer fund raising with value added free Pharmacy discount cards. ProvisionRx offers a no selling business concept that is very attractive to charities. By giving away a free pharmacy discount card that is accepted at over 54,000 pharmacies nationwide like Wal-Mart, Kroger, CVS Pharmacy, Target, etc. and gives a 10 – 75% discount on most prescriptions, a charity can earn 50 cents every time the card is used.
As of the year 1971, the number of U.S. nonprofits had only recently surpassed 200,000 in number. Today, there are approximately 1.5 million nonprofits (tax-exempt organizations). In 1971, Americans’ gifts to charity totaled around $125 billion. Today, the total is approximately $300 billion. The year 2011 is the 410th anniversary of the passage of the Statute of Charitable Uses, an Elizabethan British law that’s considered the grandparent of U.S. nonprofit laws, and was in force in the original U.S. colonies. Today, 83% of Americans donate to charities. Americans donated more than $303-billion to charity in 2009, a decline of 3.2 percent, according to estimates released by Giving USA, the annual tally of charitable donations. That comes after giving dropped 2.4-percent in 2008, during the first full year of the recession, according to the report, which was produced by Indiana University’s Center on Philanthropy.
In trying economic times like these, Non Profit Organizations must turn to avid fund raising activities to offset donations taking a downturn. Help Red Win Foundation, Daymar Foundation, Fordsville Historical Society, Team Focus Ministries, Harvest Foundation, Cannan Foundation and New Birth Deliverance Christian Center just to name a few are taking advantage of this concept and also truly helping every person who uses the Pharmacy Discount Card. The charity is given their own Group and Member Number that tracks the usage of the card for life. The card is pre-activated and can be used immediately. A pharmacy will always run both, insurance and the free card, and give the savings from the one that provides the best discount. The card is entered by the local pharmacy into their computer in one’s personal file, so if the card is lost or the customer forgets to present it, the discount on most prescriptions is still received. Lowell Mims says, “The free card never expires so it is the gift that keeps on giving to the user and the giver of the card.”
In many instances those with insurance discover that the free card saves them more on prescriptions than their insurance. Ernie Land states, “With tens of millions of people uninsured in America, a humanitarian need is instantly met while a charity is blessed. It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than That!”
