Help Support St. Mark's - Shop with iGive.com

St. Mark's Church has signed up with iGive.com to allow you to shop online and support St. Mark's at the same time. iGive.com is a web site that generates revenue for your cause through rebates provided by the vendors (stores). St. Mark's is registered with iGive.com and when you order through iGive.com a rebate is donated to the church. When you order through iGive.com you are working directly with the site/store so are able to use any specials, memberships directly with the end site and they are responsible for all issues regarding privacy, security ordering...etc.

iGive.com does not mark up prices, they make their money through advertising, vendor signup fees and sales finder's fees.

Vendor rebates seem typically to be in the 2-5% range, although they can vary and be larger. The rebates from the sales vendors are tax deductible and you have the option to receive a tax statement if you choose.

Please be aware, it does take up to 30 days to see the results of your shopping on your on-screen tracking so you will not have immediate feedback on your generosity.

You can find additional information about iGive.com in their iGive.com Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
