Join as a Vendor
What is Repairs for Purpose?
Repairs for Purpose (RFP) is a powerful social impact platform designed to connect values-driven consumers with local businesses that share their commitment to community support.
Our unique model creates a win-win-win situation: customers shop with participating vendors, vendors gain loyal customers, and nonprofits receive much-needed funding—all without any additional cost to the customer.
When customers make a purchase from your business through our platform, a portion of that sale is donated to a nonprofit of the customer's choice, creating meaningful local impact.

Why RFP Beats Traditional Advertising
Pay for Results, Not Promises
Unlike traditional advertising that charges upfront regardless of performance, RFP's model ties your costs directly to actual business generated through the platform.
Build Lasting Brand Value
Connect with customers who specifically seek out businesses that contribute to causes they care about, creating deeper loyalty and meaningful relationships.
Community Goodwill
Demonstrate your commitment to local causes while gaining visibility among values-driven consumers who prefer to shop with purpose-driven businesses.
Solutions for Commission-Based Businesses
We understand that commission-based businesses like insurance brokers, real estate agents, and financial advisors operate differently. That's why we've developed flexible options to ensure fair participation.
Tiered Flat-Fee Model
Based on client-reported transaction tiers (such as insurance premiums or property values), this option provides predictable costs while still supporting the program's mission.
Custom Participation Agreement
For businesses with revenue models that don't fit standard structures, we create tailored agreements that balance fair contribution with program sustainability.
Our goal is to make participation accessible for all community-minded businesses, regardless of how you generate revenue. We'll work directly with you to find the right solution.
Seamless Transaction Tracking
We've designed our transaction tracking system to be simple and efficient for both vendors and customers:
Customer Purchase
Customer makes a purchase at your business
Receipt Capture
Customer uploads or takes a photo of receipt in the RFP app
Matching
App matches transaction to your business
Donation Tracking
Donation amount is calculated and tracked
For some vendor types, we also offer streamlined options like promo codes, QR check-ins, or license plate recognition. We'll collaborate with you to implement the tracking method that works best for your business model.
Supporting Nonprofits Through RFP
While customers select which nonprofit receives support from their purchase, you still have opportunities to highlight causes that align with your business values:
  • Feature a preferred organization on your vendor profile
  • Highlight cause-related promotions during relevant awareness months
  • Match donations for specific causes during special campaigns
  • Participate in community-wide giving initiatives through the platform
This approach ensures customers remain engaged in the giving process while allowing your business to express its unique values and community commitments.

RFP works with a growing network of vetted nonprofit organizations across multiple cause areas, including education, environment, health, housing, and more.
