10/1 - 10/31, Round Up Donations Survey

 

Basics Co-op Owners: Cast Your Votes for Your Favorite Local Non-Profits Oct. 1-31

What is the Round Up Donations Survey?

Each October, Basics surveys Co-op Owners to choose local non-profits to support for the year.

Vote once between October 1-31 by submitting your info and selecting your favorite non-profits. Paper surveys will be available in-store. The survey closes October 31, 2025. The top 10 plus 2 new non-profits will be featured in the Round Up program at checkouts, where customers can round up their purchases to the next whole dollar and donate the change. Donations are optional, and staff use runner-up lists for additional giving.


Cooperation in Action: The Round Up Donations Survey is a fantastic way for Basics Co-op Owners to participate in the co-op, give back to our community, and support the local non-profits that are making a difference. Your voice matters!
