    The MyGRCityPoints program is an incentive program launched by the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan to encourage community engagement and local economic development. The program offers reward points to citizens for personal contributions to the community, like volunteering or recycling. Points can be redeemed with local businesses. The program aims to create a mutually beneficial "circular flow" between citizens, businesses, and the city by linking community involvement to local savings and increased investment in the city. It uses web and RFID technologies to track participation and measure its success in motivating sustained local support.
