The Alzheimer’s / Dementia Rotary Action Group (ADRAG) has taken another innovative step in the fight against Alzheimer’s and dementia with the launch of the ADRAG Impact Marketplace, powered by Our Mayberry. This unique e-commerce fundraising platform offers supporters an easy way to shop while simultaneously generating funds for ADRAG’s advocacy, research, and support initiatives.
How the Impact Marketplace Works
The ADRAG Impact Marketplace is designed to seamlessly blend everyday transactions with charitable giving. It operates as an online store featuring:
✅ Curated Products – A selection of quality products available for purchase, with a percentage of each sale directed toward ADRAG.
✅ Gift Cards from National Brands – Hundreds of popular gift cards, including dining, retail, and entertainment options, with a portion of each purchase going to support ADRAG’s mission.
✅ Local Business Participation – Community businesses can list their own products and services, choosing to donate a percentage of sales to ADRAG and local causes.
Every transaction in the marketplace creates impact—turning everyday shopping into an ongoing funding source for Alzheimer’s and dementia programs.
Rotary Clubs Can Create Their Own Localized Marketplace
One of the most powerful features of the Impact Marketplace is its adaptability for Rotary clubs. Any club can request a localized version of the marketplace at no cost, allowing them to:
🔹 Engage Local Businesses – Clubs can invite local businesses to participate, increasing community involvement and strengthening local economies.
🔹 Fund Their Chosen Cause – 50% of the proceeds raised through a club’s marketplace go directly to the club’s selected charitable cause, with the other 50% supporting ADRAG’s global efforts.
🔹 Enhance Membership Engagement – This initiative provides clubs with a unique tool for fundraising and community engagement, showcasing Rotary’s commitment to service.
A No-Cost, High-Impact Solution for Rotary Clubs
Unlike traditional fundraising efforts that require upfront investment or ongoing management, the Impact Marketplace is provided to clubs at no cost. Clubs simply direct members and supporters to shop through their personalized marketplace, generating funds without additional work.
“This is a game-changer for Rotary clubs looking to raise funds for local and global impact,” said Vice Chairman & Public Image Officer, Chris Nakea. “By leveraging this marketplace, clubs can easily support ADRAG’s vital work while directly funding causes within their own communities.”
