Delight Recipients with the
Corporate Gifts that Make a Difference
“An Amazon.com of the nonprofit world”
The Two Big Problems with Traditional Corporate Gifts
(1)
Your employees, customers, clients, and partners will little note, nor long remember yet another box of chocolates, giant can of popcorn, fruit basket, or whatever swag.
(2)
Your accountant may already have pointed out that only the first $25 of each corporate gift is tax-deductible. Ouch!
A Much Better Solution
This year, give them something they can never forget: the power to change the world in whatever way they want. Give them a charitable gift card from Changing The Present.
Also, unlike traditional presents, these charitable gift cards are fully tax-deductible.
How You Know People Will Welcome these Charitable Gift Cards
Americans are clearly passionate about their favorite causes and nonprofits, as well as their children's schools:
- individuals donate $300 billion a year
- they bequeath another $50 billion a year
- 64 million adults volunteer a total of 8.8 billion hours
- for the parents of 56 million K-12 students, their schools, classrooms, and activities may be their favorite cause.
- Cone/Roper and other reports find that Americans prefer to do business with and to work for companies that support social issues.

How Not to Donate
Some companies donate to their own favorite charity and tell people the donation was made in their name. Don't do that. That does not feel at all like a gift.
Everyone cares about their own favorites--not yours. The way to delight recipients is to let them direct your donation to their own favorite nonprofit or school.
Changing The Present Has the Best Solution!
A few other websites provide charitable gift cards, which let the recipient choose the beneficiary of the company's donation. However, they are far more limited and much less rewarding.
Only Changing The Present, a nonprofit website, provides all the meaningful and rewarding benefits shown below . . .
The Greatest Choice of any Charitable Gift Cards
Nobody else offers this: Our charitable gift cards lets recipients support their choice of:
-
- thousands of specific, heart-warming charitable gifts, such as preserve an acre of the rain forest, fund an hour of cancer research, provide books for children, etc. from hundreds of leading nonprofits. We can also add specific charitable gifts from your any of your favorite nonprofits that are not already on the site.
-
- supporting any of their favorite 501(c)(3) nonprofits--any in the country
-
- funding needs for any K-12 school (or any teacher, cub, team, or band at any of the schools) in the country
- We can also create gift cards that recipients can use for only the causes, nonprofits, or gifts that you specify.
- Your Choice of Gift Cards and Greeting Cards
- Our gift cards and printed greeting cards, which you can personalize for each recipient, make this feel like an especially personal and memorable present. (You can also just get the gift card digital ID numbers if you want to distribute them in some other way). We will even personalize the gift card ID#s, such as "Sony-12345," to remind recipients of your generosity.
Brand Benefits for Your Company
-
We brand the entire experience so you get the recognition and goodwill your generosity deserves. That includes:
- branded gift cards and greeting cards with your company identity and message
