The simplicity of the Lawrence Give Back Card is what makes it such a stroke of brilliance. As their website states, "All you need to do is present your Give Back Card with your purchase every time you shop at Checkers or dine at a Lawrence Originals restaurant. They’ll Donate a portion of every dollar you spend AND you will also Earn Rebates, which are redeemable at all participating merchants."

What are Lawrence Originals you ask? They are locally owned and operated eateries like:La Parilla Local Burger Pachamamas Restaurant & Star Bar Zen Zero

The Lawrence Original will then donate five percent of your tab (excluding tax, tip and alcohol) to the cause you select from one of the charities supported that include but are not limited to:Kansas Public Radio Lawrence Habitat for Humanity Lawrence Humane Society Lawrence Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Solar Panels for Public Library Lawrence Public Schools

And you also receive rebate points that can be spent at any of the other participating locations. You earn one point for every dollar you spend. Once you collect 200 points $10 automatically gets loaded onto your card, good at any participating merchant (Dine in only, 100 max points per visit, and you can not combine it with any other discount, coupon or promotion).

We mentioned Checkers before, Lawrence's locally owned market, well it works differently than the eateries. Instead of five percent, Checkers will donate one percent of your total bill (excluding tax) to the cause you select and you will earn one point for every five dollars you spend (excluding tax). Once you collect 200 points $10 still gets loaded onto your card, good at any of the participating merchants.

The best part is card is completely, absolutely FREE. No hidden fees, costs, contracts or any extra consumption needed to generate cash for great causes while generating extra money you can spend locally. I told you it was brilliant.
