Overview of the Opportunity
Tremendous Funding Opportunity
Americans spend $450 billion a year on birthday, wedding, and holiday presents. A few pioneering nonprofits are capturing some of that fortune. One raises $120 million a year in that way.
How Do They Do It?
The only way to capture significant money normally spent on presents is to make the the experience of a donation, which one gives in the name of a friend or loved one, feel like a rewarding present.
The Difficulty for Nonprofits
Until now, it has been far too difficult, even for large organizations, to offer the requisite gift-like experience. So most nonprofits ignore this tremendous opportunity, or they simply offer to notify an honoree of a donation. Sending an email, letter, or generic card just does not feel like a heartfelt present, and it cannot attract much of that fortune.
What It Takes for Nonprofits to Capture Money Normally Spent on Presents
Heart-warming charitable gifts are more rewarding for the giver and recipient,
Personalized printed greeting cards make the donation feel like a meaningful expression of love.
Gift cards let recipients choose how they want to make a difference and get them involved.
Charitable Wish lists and Registries let people encourage donations instead of shopping
