The document describes a new incentive program called MYGRCITY Points launched by the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The program aims to encourage community engagement, local spending, and contributions to non-profits by rewarding citizens with points that can be redeemed from local businesses. The program will use web-based and RFID tracking technology to monitor citizens' activities and distribute points. Officials hope the program will boost local government revenues, increase public awareness of non-profits, and encourage economic investment and circulation within the city.
