Charity Give Back Cards -The Gift That Gives Back
Taking a moment out of your day to help someone else is incredibly rewarding. Donating to charity is a meaningful experience that often falls by the wayside in our busy lives. A Charity Give Back eGift Card is a thoughtful and meaningful gift that they might not have considered themselves.
What is a Charity Give Back eGift Card?
A Charity Give Back eGift Card is an opportunity for you or your recipient to make a charitable donation of your choosing. The Charity Give Back Card is one card that corresponds to eight different charities. The card is preloaded with a donation of $10, $20, $50 and $100*.

Once you’ve sent the Charity Give Back eGift Card, your recipient will take three simple steps:
1. Select a Cause. They can browse and select one or more charities on the community impact hub platform that are close to their heart.
2. Redeem. They’ll enter their voucher code to allocate their donation.
3. Give. They can choose to support multiple charities, or just one. With a Charity Give Back Card they’re in the driver seat of change. Read more here.
Gift Donation Benefits
So, why is a Charity Give Back eGift Card such a great gifting option? Let’s find out.
It’s Thoughtful
Whether it’s a local organisation or an issue they are passionate about, you can help them make a difference. Showing generosity today can make a vital difference to people in tough times. Giving back gives you a warm feeling inside and with a gift card, you can share that feeling with others. When all the birthday or Christmas presents are opened, a charity gift may be the most meaningful gift of all.
It’s Personal
Your gift can still have an element of personalisation. In your written message, you might recommend a charity that aligns with their passions. Alternatively, you can choose to send your Charity Give Back eGift Card with a special edition greeting card. This can show your recipient that you care about their values and want to support them. Or if they have a personal connection to a particular cause, this will also be a subtle yet meaningful way to quietly acknowledge this.
It’s Sustainable
Instead of buying material gifts that could end up in landfill, spend your money where it’s needed most. Whilst it may not be a gift that sits on their mantle piece for ten years, the impact of a charity donation can be felt by someone else for potentially a lifetime.
It May Be Tax Deductible
Doing the right thing has its benefits. As the sender of the Charity Give Back Card, you may be eligible for a tax-deduction for the donatable value of the Charity Give Back Card.*
