Meaningful Gifts Make a Difference
We help nonprofits and schools—all of which urgently need more funding—capture some of the $450 billion fortune Americans spend each year on birthday, wedding, and holiday presents.
We do that by making the experience of a donation, which you give in a friend's name, feel like a rewarding present and a great alternative to buying yet more unwanted merchandise.
Imagine the impact as more and more people adopt this meaningful type of giving! Each 1% of the money now spent on presents would be $4.5 billion per year to do good.
Here are a few of our thousands of charitable gifts from hundreds of outstanding nonprofits.
Help your favorite nonprofit or school capture some of the money now spent on presents. Just say the word, and we will gladly prioritize an invitation to them.
Feed a child
Cancer research
Protect an Acre
Human Rights
Stop sexual abuse
Shelter animals
