These are programs where you put links on your website that will direct your members to merchant websites like Amazon, The Sports Authority, etc. If your member makes a purchase on those websites, you receive a donation for sending them there. The momentum of the program began to pick up throughout the school year. However, the following year it came to a halt. The reason being that there were no volunteers to continue to run the program. The chair person that started it wound up taking a full time job and there was no one else that had the amount of time it took to make the program successful.
