Hello,

I discovered something that you will find helpful.

If you're familiar with Heifer International, then you already know that a well-designed alternative-gift program can attract some of the $450 billion Americans spend each year on birthday, wedding, and holiday presents.

ChangingThePresent.org makes it easy for all nonprofits to capture some of that fortune. They do it by making donations, given in a friend’s name, feel like a rewarding gift and a nice alternative to buying more "stuff." They provide everything it takes:

1. tangible gifts with compelling stories to captivate potential donors and make giving more rewarding

2. beautiful personalized printed greeting cards, which make donations feel like great gifts

3. wish lists and registries to let supporters encourage their friends to donate. 

You will also appreciate that there is no charge to sign up, and there are no monthly fees.

Here is an overview of the opportunity. Please let me know when you join so I can support you in this way and add you to my wish list.

Thank you very much!
