Goals
- Turn $15 million (0.5%) of the $3B unused gift cards into donations
- Provide charities and non-profit groups with a new way to raise funds
- Provide consumers and corporations with an innovative way to donate
- Encourage retailers to be more socially responsible
Overview
There's over $3 billion in unused, unwanted and partially used gift cards in Canada! That's a lot of money sitting in drawers, purses and wallets...
Imagine turning only 0.5% ($15 million) of that $3 billion into finding the cure, aiding diaster relief, supporting schools and sports teams, community organizations and much more.
Through our Card Collection Program, we provide charities/non-profits with an innovative way to meet and exceed their fundraising goals. We collect these cards via our website or through the organization and, in turn, these cards are resold to customers at a discount with proceeds going back to the charity/non-profit group.
Given today's economy we make it easier for new and existing supporters to donate by giving a gift card instead of cash or writing a check.
Plus if it's a registered charity, supporters will receive a tax receipt for 100% of the card value.
