Website Spotlight: FlipGive

It seems hard to believe each and every year, but it’s true–summer is almost over! And as the calendar turns to August and school children begrudgingly come to terms with the fact that school will soon be in session, parents from every province are looking for ways to save on back to school shopping. 

Coupons and sales are great, but did you know there is a way to not only save money on the items you need but to also contribute to your children’s youth sports team or club in the process? 

FlipGive–the Toronto-based team funding app tech startup that has completely reinvented how youth sports teams and clubs raise money–is offering increased cash back incentives to meet all your back-to school needs. Although it's based in Canada, it's available in the US as well.

Studies have shown that over just the last three years, back-to-school costs for Canadian families have nearly doubled to approximately $900. If every parent on a 20-member sports team (the average number of players for most youth sports) spends $900 and receives an average of 15% cash back using FlipGive, they will raise nearly $3,000 for their team.  

Whether you are in the market for clothes, supplies, or tech, FlipGive has you–and your child’s team or club–covered. Through FlipGive, shoppers can earn great cash incentives on their back to school from partner brands:
