How Does PPA Work?
What is a group purchasing organization?
The concept of group purchasing is simple; the more the group purchases, the deeper the discounts offered by Vendors to all members of the group. The deeper the discounts to the members for goods and services, the more money members retain in their budgets to meet organizational goals. The buying power of the entire group allows the small non profit to gain the same discounted prices as the larger organizations! You no longer stand alone in the purchasing marketplace and you will experience greater benefits by joining hands with the other members.

Why Do For-Profits join Purchasing Partners of America?
We have found that many for-profit businesses have a desire to see our community’s non-profit organizations succeed. Many of these business folks are on our Boards of Directors, are donors or community volunteers. They deepen our discounts and strengthen PPA purchasing ability every time they participate in buying through our group purchasing organization. Business leaders feel great about this win-win situation. They get excellent savings on their purchases and they support the non-profit sector in their missions to help humanity.

How Does PPA generate revenue to operate the group purchasing organization?
Purchasing Partners of America will not charge any more membership fees beginning in 2010 and will be fully supported by administrative fees from select vendors based on purchases of the members. Being a social enterprise, a percentage of profits will be donated to charity organizations.
