The Ames Regional Economic Alliance is excited to re-introduce our Community Cash program with a new logo and sponsor. Thank you, TS Bank!
What is Community Cash?
Community Cash is a local gift certificate that you can use at any participating business. There are currently 30 businesses across the Ames region that accept Community Cash!
Why purchase Community Cash instead of a normal gift card?
- We all have someone that is difficult to shop for… When you gift Community Cash, they decide where to go!
- Supporting Local – We have amazing local businesses, and purchasing Community Cash ensures that your money stays within our community.
Corporate Buying Program
We also offer a Corporate Buying Program for large quantity purchases. This program is used by many large local companies as part of their employee recognition programs or holiday gifts. It’s an investment that both celebrates the hard work of their teams and also injects much needed resources into our local economy. Corporate buyers must purchase in bulk of $1,000 or more.
To purchase with the Corporate Buying Program, please contact us at
515-232-2310 or email cash@amesalliance.com.
