Prescott Proud Dollars Program

The Town of Prescott has developed a program to support businesses and encourage shopping locally in Prescott!

Prescott Proud Dollars are now available for purchase by individuals and businesses. Dollars are given away to loyal shoppers as part of special campaigns throughout the year too, so you never know when you might be a lucky recipient!

Prescott Proud Dollars are available in $5, $10 & $20 denominations, and they never expire!

They work exactly like a gift card and can be used in many Prescott shops, restaurants, and services. The dollars are just like regular money; the only difference is businesses can't give change on unspent portions of dollars, so make sure you spend the full amount when you use them!
