The Neighborhood Link Community PigeBank Program is an exciting new way for Olde Sawmill to raise funds!
Here's how it works: Anyone can go to our organization's Web site and choose from a list of merchants, and shop from the merchant Web sites. A commission from that purchase is deposited in our organization's PigeBank account. Our organization will periodically receive a check from Neighborhood Link for the commissions earned through our group's PigeBank Program. The money our group has already received will appear on your Web site so everyone can see how much money your organization has earned!
The merchants included in the program cover a wide variety of categories, including: gifts, groceries, books, computer software, clothing and household items. Remember - the more purchases made through our PigeBank, the more money for our organization! So let your friends, neighbors, and family members know about our Web site. Spreading the word helps increase the money you can raise for your group's projects!
Your organization can use the money raised through the Neighborhood Link Community PigeBank Program for any purpose! Each check is made out to the organization name and mailed to the address provided during the registration process. To find out who is receiving your organization's check, go to your Web site and click on the PigeBank icon. If your group has signed up for the program, there will be a sentence the middle of the page that starts, "Your group's commission checks are mailed to" followed by the name of the group receiving the check.

When a purchase is made through the Neighborhood Link Community PigeBank Program, your organization earns a commission on the sale. All commissions earned are posted to your organization's account. Commissions are paid to your organization on a quarterly basis, provided the balance is $25 or more. Any amount under $25 will be rolled over for the next quarter's payment. Commissions earned up to 12 months prior to registering are credited to your organization's account, and paid at the end of the quarter following registration.
So if this is something you think would help grow our Association, post a message in the ?“Talk About It?” section with your thoughts and ideas. We need to hear from you to make this work.
Hope to hear from you soon.
