Better known as Painless Fundraising, passive fundraising lets you contribute to PCA while doing your everyday shopping. These programs do not require a cash contribution. You simply save the appropriate proofs of purchase, receipts or identify yourself to a business using a PCA identification code. Each seemingly small contribution adds up in a big way to benefit a variety of PCA programs.
