New in 2024: GotSneakers
GotSneakers has developed a unique fundraising program that asks donors to reach into their closets, not their pockets! The sneaker recycling program helps keep sneakers out of landfills, while also helping support organizations like Open Arms. We’ve piloted this initiative at one of our Jacksonville, FL locations and are ready to roll it out to all our communities! During Week 4, information will be sent on how community teams might be able to
participate in a GotSneakers campaign or how MAA associates who are also residents might be able to help in this way.
ShopRaise Whether it's shopping for daily essentials like groceries, buying furniture for a home office, or even booking that next trip, ShopRaise lets donors shop for their cause! Participating associates and residents will be able to turn everyday shopping at more than 1,000 participating stores into donation dollars for
Open Arms, all at no additional cost to the shopper. During Week 4, information will be given on how to participate in the ShopRaise program.
Benevity The Open Arms Foundation is registered with Benevity, a charity platform which directs funds from other companies that have employee matching programs. Each year Open Arms receives donations
from our residents and others who work for participating companies. Letting others know that Open Arms is enrolled for Benevity giving will allow them to select Open Arms as their charity and widen the impact of these matching donations. More information will be detailed during Week 4 on how to best share Benevity program information with our residents, family and friends!
PayPal Giving Fund
PayPal Giving Fund helps people support their favorite charities through PayPal, eBay, and other technology platforms, and routes donations to designated charities, such as the Open Arms Foundation. Week 4 information will detail how associates and residents can select the Open Arms Foundation as their charity of choice through the PayPal Giving Fund.
Open Arms Jeans Day
Jeans Days Each Friday in October, associates may wear jeans with any MAA or Open Arms T-Shirt. • Printable signs can be posted to state the purpose for our Jeans Days and start conversations about Open Arms. • Remember, no rips, holes, or raw hems on jeans, and please wear business casual shoes.
