downtown dollars
Support your town one dollar at a time.
The Downtown Dollars program was the dream child of a team of Downtown Newport fans. They worked together to create this gift certificate program, which supports and benefits all businesses who want to participate. The Downtown Dollars Program is available year round and makes a great gift during the holidays or for any special occasion. When you give or buy a Downtown Dollar, you are dedicating funds to these small, independent shops and restaurants that are so vital to our Downtown. The stores who accept these Dollars, reap extra benefits and we couldn’t be happier to help.
I’m a shopper, how does it work?
- Go to the Main Street Branch of Community National Bank, in Newport.
- Purchase your Downtown Dollars in $5 and $20 denominations.
- Visit any of the participating stores and start shopping!
I’m a business owner, how does it work?
- Let us know you want to be involved, and we’ll add you to the list of participating businesses.
- Once the dollars are used by a customer at your business you return the coupons to Community National Bank for its face value. All funds raised by the sale of Downtown Dollars go into a holding account for the participating merchants.
