CLYNK to Give

Fundraising through bottles and cans is a win-win for the environment and community.

Support your nonprofit with CLYNK to Give. 

CLYNK to Give is CLYNK’s community-centric program that unites non-profit organizations and causes with civic-minded consumers to enable “bottle drive” fundraising and community giving at scale.  We work with thousands of charities, helping them raise funds to support important causes and provide essential services locally. In addition to traditional “bottle drives” CLYNK members can give “virtually” by either directing funds from their CLYNK accounts or enrolling in a Bag Donation Event whereby a member’s bag drops during a fundraising campaign gets credited to the cause they support

CLYNK to Give participants provide services everywhere in Maine and New York, ranging from environmental stewardship to animal welfare, housing and homelessness, schools and education, hunger and poverty, youth sports, public health, and everything in between. In 2024 alone, nonprofits and causes have returned xx million beverage containers, ensuring they were recycled into high-quality materials while raising $5.5 million to support their efforts in a single year. 

Testimonials

"CLYNK offers a program called “CLYNK to Give” which allows customers to directly donate their bottle money to Cans for a Cure. Since becoming a partner, Cans for a Cure has raised $103,511.95! The ability to donate cans and bottles year-round, and not have to wait for the yearly bottle drive has clearly contributed significantly to our fundraising efforts. Without CLYNK, there is NO Cans for a Cure.”

What CLYNK does for our Homeless (Hope for Homeless, Inc)  is provide HOPE and necessities for our homeless.  We collect the funds from CLYNK to fund our Warming Centers.   CLYNK provides an overnight place in the Winter during Maine winters, that are safe and warm.  (These folks live outside 24/7, our shelters are 100% full) They can come in after 6PM, get a chair or mat for the night, get a hot meal, snacks and even hot coffee, tea or cocoa.  There are trained folks to offer them further assistance if they wish for it.
