About Us

At Community Pay it Forward, we believe business should be about more than transactions — it should be about transformation.

We connect small businesses, nonprofits, and community members through our Giving Partner Program, where every purchase becomes a chance to help someone in need. When customers shop with our Giving Partners, a portion of their purchase goes directly to a nonprofit, mission, or family they care about.

This simple model helps:

Businesses grow through increased visibility and loyal, cause-driven customers.

Nonprofits receive steady, reliable support.

Communities know they don’t have to face challenges alone.

Our motto says it best:
👉 If you are not helping someone, you are hurting everyone. No one needs to go it alone when we all, "Come Together!".

We’re here to help businesses thrive, nonprofits succeed, and communities grow stronger — together.

How We Got Started

Community Pay it Forward began after my motorcycle accident in 2015. I quickly realized how hard it can be to find support when life takes an unexpected turn. That experience inspired me to create a program where no one would have to face struggles alone.

Originally, I thought I’d go into event planning. But I learned pretty fast that wasn’t for me — I’ve been married three times and not once was I asked my opinion on the wedding! Let’s just say event planning and I weren’t a good match.

Instead, I built Community Pay it Forward to connect businesses, nonprofits, and families in a way where every purchase can become a lifeline. Our Giving Partner Program grew out of the simple belief that if we work together, we can create real solutions for real people — one transaction at a time.

I have found a group to work with to accomplish a little growth, but I started this company to help others, not get rich. I should have realized the difficulties finding additional funding when the bottom line is community strength, not personal growth. I am absolutely not whining about this. I still get chills every time someone comes up to us with a story of how we as a team helped them. I have faith that this is the year that we get it going, but yes, we struggle with all the above.

It is simple to find all the ways they are helping us. It is election season. Our "Home Town, Home Grown" elected officials will be telling us what they are doing but being blocked by the other guys.  (more) It is simple to find all the ways they are helping us.

I have it posted for mutual protection we prefer masks, but that is as far as it goes. I am of the belief that we offer assistance to everyone, and to my knowledge, no one has put me in charge of their life! Please, everyone have a great day. And remember, helping someone is as easy as a smile. (more) I have it posted for mutual protection we prefer masks, but that is as far as it goes.
