Because #SmallBusinessCreatesCommunity

Where it all started

Like all great origin stories, the idea for The Bud Card started out as a scribble on a post-it note stuck to a mirror, where it lived for 3 years as a mere dream. In 2018 The Bud Card founder, Amanda Nash, was ready to take that post-it note off the mirror and make it a reality. At the heart and soul of this initiative, was her love for small business, a deep passion to support entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry, and the drive to spread the news about these great brands to consumers everywhere.

Today, The Bud Card partners with small businesses and supporting organizations that all have the same goal; to create community through small business and thrive because of it.

What we’re made of:

  • Heart

    Everything we do is because we care deeply about hard-working small business owners.

  • Determination

    Small business owners know just how much effort goes into running a business. We push forward every day with our mission at the helm.

  • Hard work

    Even when you're working smart, working hard is what get's things done.

  • Inclusiveness

    Hate does not exist here. If you are human, you are welcome.

  • Grit

    Our mission has remained the same since day one, and our strength of character makes it possible to.

  • Persistence

    With every hurdle, we leap. We find solutions that benefit everyone and not the few.

  • Patience

    Great things take time, and cooler heads always prevail.

  • Community

    When we work together, advocate together, and shop together we make it possible to build a community that thrives. #smallbusinesscreatescommunity

Our Values

the bud card

Create Community:

We've made this online platform to give YOU the power to shop small and support the hard-working members of the community where you live and work. Through this platform, we believe both our partnering businesses and shoppers find deeper meaning in every purchase and put intentionality behind spending. These seemingly small interactions and transactions make a big impact at the end of the day.

Support Community:

The Bud Card platform offers members incredible benefits, leveraging power, industry perks, and a community of like-minded partners to collaborate with and benefit from. With Bud Card's exclusive conference and event host partnerships, we are able to offer discounted show rates to our members. When your dollar goes further, you can do more!

Give Back to the Community:

Each year we make it a priority to choose worthy causes to give back to. When we band together in support of our community, we show other businesses and individuals that big things are possible with the help of our community. Last year, we did this by raising $5000 for Dr. Sue Sisley & the Scottsdale Research Institute. We also gave back to Tom's Palms and Garden Hope.
