Want to help your favorite nonprofit while you’re doing your holiday shopping?

Let me introduce you to Boosterville. Boosterville provides a nationwide network of businesses who share back a portion of each transaction to help nonprofits their customers love!

It is simple. When you shop at, for instance, Three Dog Bakery in downtown Zionsville, Three Dog Bakery will donate 5% of your purchase, with a minimum purchase of $20, to the charity of your choice. All you must do on your end is link your Visa credit card with Boosterville and select where you want the donations to go.

It costs you no extra money, because you were going to buy treats for the pups anyway. It just takes a few minutes to download the Boosterville app and link your card. Once you have completed it, you never have to do it again – donations will be flowing!

I have my card linked with Boosterville. Every time I buy lunch at Cobblestone, 5% of my bill is donated to the nonprofit of my choice.

I also bought my mom this cute book that she can read to her grandbabies from Black Dog Books, and 10% of that purchase went to the nonprofit of my choice.

Want to get more bang for your buck? The Community Foundation of Boone County has awarded Boosterville a $1,000 matching grant for each Boone County school district (Zionsville, Lebanon and Western Boone).

All money raised by making purchases from Boosterville businesses to support a Boone County school will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $1,000 per district.

Boone County businesses linked with Boosterville include:

• Village Mattress – 10% on $25 min. purchase (max $200 donation)
• Restore Life Chiropractic – $5-$10 donation; $50 min. purchase
• Rush on Main – $2.50-$5 donation; $25 min. purchase
• Three Dog Bakery – 5% on $20 min. purchase
• Black Dog Books – 10% on $10 min. purchase
• Blooming Life Yoga – 5% on $50 min. purchase
• Indy’s Pro Graphix – 10% on $25 min. purchase
