The Story Behind The Discount Card
Meet Colin, the founder.
After spending a decade in the USA, Colin saw first-hand how digital discount cards were transforming community fundraising, creating a powerful link between local businesses, schools and clubs, and the families who support them.
When he returned home to Northern Ireland, he couldn’t believe the same system wasn’t already in place here. With a background in newspapers, sales and digital marketing, Colin knew just how valuable this could be, not just as a fundraiser, but as a way to support local communities and boost small businesses.
Here After Years of Success in the US
Keith Farmer has spent over 30 years perfecting a digital fundraising platform that’s already helped raise millions of dollars across the United States. Colin instantly saw the potential. The platform was smart, simple, and scalable, and it was built around the same values they both shared through their faith and community work.
So they joined forces to bring The Discount Card to Northern Ireland.
