Purchase together • Build wealth • Uplift our community
Collective spending. Collective power.

We already spend the money. Let’s make it work for us.

The Melanated Collective Spending Program organizes everyday purchases through selected affiliate links so normal spending can help create resources for scholarships, training, emergency support, and community-building initiatives.

How it works

Purchase together. Build together.

MCSP is built around a practical idea: organize purchases people are already making through selected affiliate and partner links.

01

Start with MCSP

Before making a planned purchase, begin with an approved MCSP shopping or partner link.

02

Make your normal purchase

Buy what you already intended to buy. The strategy is coordinated spending—not unnecessary spending.

03

Build community resources

Eligible affiliate proceeds can be directed toward scholarships, skills training, emergency support, and community programs.

MCSP in real life

Built for families, students, and business owners.

MCSP is designed around everyday people making intentional purchases that can fuel long-term opportunity across our communities.

The strategy

Everyday purchases. Organized participation. Long-term community impact.
