Our campaigns all start with one big idea—
when customers speak up together, companies listen.
Your voice is valuable, and your dollars matter.
Get notified next time there’s an opportunity for you to join a campaign.
Our campaigns put the Spendrise community’s values into action.
We take collective action to shift business practices and create lasting social change.
You’re more than a petition signature.
We build new technology and design creative actions to involve people from across the country in making change.
Speak up as customers
Spendrise campaigns are unique in engaging your purchasing power because we know that dollars and data will get every company’s attention.
Reward progress and positive change
We expect companies to prioritize people and the planet. When companies make real progress, we come together as a community to thank them (and to show other companies what they’re missing!).

Target: We're shopping in support of your inclusive bathroom policy
When Target decided to allow its customers to use the bathroom of their gender preference, they received a lot of flack. But even more people wanted to support them for taking a stand for inclusivity. What better way to say “thank you” than making a purchase?

Restaurants: Compost with CERO cooperative, and we'll come dine
CERO is a Boston-based business that composts food waste. They’re also a worker cooperative, which means that business decisions are made collectively by the workers. Bostonians wanted to support CERO, so they created campaigns to ask their favorite food spots to compost with CERO!
Let's Help Casellula Provide One Fair Wage
A restaurant owner wanted to adopt a living wage for employees that didn’t depend on tip, but that meant prices would look different. So he ran a campaign to make sure his clientele would get behind the change. And they did!

Spread The Cheer, Here
Money spent at local businesses, uplift the community, as opposed to money spent at national retailers that leak out of the local economy. For the 2017 holiday season, we promoted 13 local businesses that were also doing social good.
Tell Retailers: We'll spend at your store if you dump the Trumps
A group of concerned customers wanted to send a clear message, the Trump family should not be making money off a campaign based off bigotry against immigrants, women, and people of color. So they challenged retailers — the first to drop Trump-brand products will get our money! Nordstrom was the first retailer to do so, so they received all of the campaign supporters' pledge purchases.

Stand up for gun reform. Let's BUYcott Dick's Sporting Goods!

Support Sanctuary Restaurants
On #DayWithoutImmigrants, businesses shut down and many workers walked out of their job to show the immense impact of immigrants on the American economy. Many restaurants around the country also committed to being a “Sanctuary Restaurant,” so we made a directory to make it easy for customers to support these businesses taking a brave stand.
Trader Joe's: Ban Styrofoam packaging and we'll come shop
Trader Joe’s fans didn’t want to have to choose between delicious food and environmental responsibility, so they joined together on a campaign to tell Trader Joe’s to stop wrapping their produce with Styrofoam.

In-N-Out: Stop using plastic straws and we'll come dine
Students along the California Coast learned about the impact of plastic pollution on our oceans, so they decided to ask their favorite burger chain to go ol’ school — switch to paper straws!

Starbucks: Replace your coffee cups with recyclable cups
Every day, Starbucks sells over 4 million cups of coffee in the US alone. That's 4 million cups that are headed straight to landfill -- because Starbucks coffee cups can't be recycled because of their plastic lining! We started a campaign to change that.
Target: Fight food waste by selling ugly fruits and vegetables
Over 40% of produce grown in the US goes to waste. A lot of that is because the produce have blemishes that don’t meet up to supermarket requirements. So, customers came together to ask Target to be a leader in preventing food waste by also selling “ugly” fruits and vegetables.
