Interra Testimonials
 

People are talking about The Interra Project:

"The Interra model has the potential to transform the Cultural Creatives subculture into an economic reality. Such a process would have huge significance, not only economically, but also in the social and the consciousness awareness realm."
- Bernard Lietaer, author,
"The Future of Money"

"I have dreamed of ways to coalesce the purchasing power of movements for a more equitable, peaceful and ecologically sustainable world."
- Hazel Henderson, economist and author, "Beyond Globalization"

"The Interra model is a brilliant social and financial invention that can help bring a green economy into greater practicality. This is hot stuff, and needs all our support. It functions rather like an alternative currency or an airline miles program, to help encourage mutual loyalty among green/socially responsible consumers. In particular, it does a better job of incentivizing a mutual loyalty of businesses and customers who share the same values."
- Paul H. Ray, author,
"The Cultural Creatives"

Interra Community Cards

The Community Card programs help communities reverse the negative impact of losing dollars to retailers that are not locally owned. This model provides consumers with the incentives they need to shift their purchasing habits to support the health of their communities by shopping with locally-focused, environmentally and sustainably-minded businesses. When you shop at participating neighborhood businesses, you facilitate a shift of dollars to the common good through cash rewards for consumers, schools, nonprofits and the local community.

The cardholder process…

  1. Citizen consumer joins the Community Card Program and receives a Community Card
  2. Cardholder signs into their account and designates up to four beneficiaries
  3. Cardholder presents the Community Card at participating businesses
  4. Cashier swipes the Community Card through the credit card terminal
  5. Cardholder pays with another form of payment (cash, check or credit card)
  6. Cardholder earns Community Rebates that are cash rewards to cardholders and donations to local non-profits or schools.
  7. Cash rewards accumulate and cardholders can redeem them via check or direct deposit. Cardholders can also increase their donation by gifting their cash reward.

Participants not only receive valuable offers and cash rewards, but they also have the opportunity to give back to their community and make a powerful social statement through donations to local nonprofits and schools. Online accounts and personalized statements show the positive impact made both individually and collectively through participation in the program.
