UCP Purchasing Point

We have partnered with the National Human Services Assembly to provide our members access to the PurchasingPoint® program. PurchasingPoint® is an exclusive discount program for nonprofits that leverages group buying power to get access to significant savings from your everyday vendors. The program is designed to help nonprofits reduce overhead costs by providing access to discounts on a vast range of products and services including, but not limited to: office supplies, shipping, copiers, postage equipment, furniture, cleaning supplies, promotional merchandise, car rental, cell phones, and more. Discounts in the program are negotiated with vendors based on $24 billion in annual collective buying power, more than any one nonprofit could do alone. As a result, the program provides nonprofits access to a level of pricing typically reserved for Fortune 100 companies.

Key Benefits of PurchasingPoint®

• 50%+ savings with select vendors on car rental, shipping, and copy/printing equipment
• Estimated savings of $18 million annually among program participants
• Estimated average savings of 33% annually across all vendors
• Employee discounts with select vendors
• Over 200 unique vendors
• Once your account is set up, you can generally continue to work with your same local sales reps
• Free benefit as part of your membership with United Cerebral Palsy

Savings gained through utilizing the program can be directed away from overhead spending and into the hands of your mission-related programming. Remember, it’s easier to save money than it is to raise it! PurchasingPoint® provides just that opportunity!
