After seeing the positive impact the RAD Card program has had on local business and consumers, The Sonora Area Foundation has thrown another 100,000 into the pot. So if you missed your chance for a Rad card, hurry up and fill yours up now! An individual is only allowed a max of $100 to be doubled, but the app will continue to allow you to add unmatched funds on it, so you can use contact free payments at local businesses if you please.

The new funds will be available soon, so download the app and keep your ears open!
