Rockville Rewards is a Rockville Economic Development, Inc. program supported by the City of Rockville, Maryland. Through the purchase of the program’s digital card ($20), cardholders may support both local nonprofits and businesses alike through its 'shop small' initiative.
By presenting the card to any participating business approved through the program cardholders access exclusive discounts on goods and services with the net card proceeds being donated to participating nonprofits.
Originally launched in 2010, Rockville Rewards was created to support and celebrate area small businesses and nonprofits. In 2020, the Greater Rockville Chamber of Commerce led the digitization of the program.
In August 2023, the Rockville Rewards program was incorporated into Rockville’s tourism program – Explore Rockville, and is managed by Rockville Economic Development, Inc.
