What methods are available to support a candidate or cause?
For a candidate, you have two options. 1) You may directly support a candidate of choice. All financial support is provided directly to the candidate at ZERO cost from Return Red. Simply visit your campaign of choice and select the Support Project Button: Click on the button and you will be re-directed to the page with all the list of rewards and an option to back any amount to the project. 2) In the bottom right of the Candidate's profile cover photo is a little arrow. Select it and choose "Gift Points". Everything you do on Return Red earns points. Gifting these points to your candidate of choice allows them to redeem them against advertising costs on Return Red. Advertising discounts can range anywhere from .01 cents all the way up FREE based on the level of points a candidate has to redeem. Gifting points is a great way for those who wish to provide direct support but may not have the financial mean's to do so. For a cause, such as technical support or legal assistance, the best way to support is through direct monetary contributions, as this will help them meet their financial obligations above the need of advertising.
