About charity & donations gift cards

Charity & Donations cards are a distinctive reward: instead of a prepaid purchase, the recipient chooses where a charitable gift goes. They suit corporate social responsibility programs, employee giving schemes where staff pick a cause they care about, and customer or partner appreciation that aligns with a company's values.

The category has more than 20 brands, most of them specific charitable organizations or donation platforms. WWF cards support wildlife and environmental conservation in several countries. Girls Who Code funds programs that teach girls computer science, a focused choice for a technology company's social mission. GlobalGiving lets recipients direct funds to a variety of grassroots projects worldwide, giving them a sense of agency. Charity Choice and Charity on Top are multi-charity platforms in North America, ideal when recipients have different interests. EcoTree plants trees in Europe, appealing to organizations with net-zero goals.

Norway has the most brands in this category, followed by the United States and Sweden. Germany, Denmark, and the United Arab Emirates each offer a couple of options. Coverage varies by charity: a GLAAD card works mainly in the United States, while Kreftforeningen is specific to Norway. A recipient in Finland cannot redeem a card meant for a Norwegian charity unless the card says otherwise. Check the supported country on each card's page before you send.

Face values are modest, as is typical for donation cards. In Norwegian krone, cards range from 50 NOK to 5000 NOK. US dollar cards start at 5 USD and go up to 500 USD. Euros run from 10 EUR to 500 EUR, and Swedish krona cards span 50 SEK to 5000 SEK. These amounts cover a symbolic contribution up to a substantial grant, but not every charity offers the full spread.

You can send these cards through GIFQ in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time through the API. A company could give every employee a WWF card on Earth Day, or a retailer might reward top customers with a charity gift of their choice. A research team could thank participants with a GlobalGiving voucher instead of cash. If recipients would rather choose from many product categories, Prepaid & Payment Cards is more flexible.

Frequently asked questions

Which charities are available in the Charity & Donations category?

The category includes well-known organizations like WWF, Girls Who Code, GlobalGiving, and EcoTree, as well as national charities such as Kreftforeningen in Norway and GLAAD in the United States. The selection varies by country.

Can I send a single Charity & Donations card to recipients in multiple countries?

Not usually. Each card is tied to a specific charity and often a specific country or region. Some platforms like GlobalGiving may work internationally, but you need to check the supported countries on the card's page for each recipient group.

What currencies and amounts are available?

Cards are denominated in local currencies. In Norwegian krone, values range from 50 NOK to 5000 NOK. In US dollars, from 5 USD to 500 USD. In euros, from 10 EUR to 500 EUR. Not every charity offers the full range.

Who are these cards best suited for as a payout?

They work well for corporate social responsibility initiatives, employee giving programs where recipients choose a cause, customer loyalty rewards that reflect company values, and compensation for participants in studies where a charitable donation is a meaningful alternative to cash.

How can I send Charity & Donations cards in bulk through GIFQ?

From the GIFQ dashboard you can upload a list of recipients and send cards in bulk. Or you can integrate the API to send cards programmatically, one at a time or thousands, with each recipient receiving a unique code to redeem their donation.

Four details to check before you order

  1. Market and currency

    Start with where your recipients will use the card. Products from the same brand can serve different countries and currencies, so use the market-specific listing to find the right version for each group.

  2. Face value and quantity

    Use the denominations or value range shown for the product to plan your order. The face value is what the recipient can spend; your account price is what you pay. Together with the quantity, these give you the information needed to budget for the program.

  3. Redemption and expiry

    The brand’s instructions explain how a recipient uses the reward, including any account requirements or online and in-store options. Include the expiry information with the reward. Our team can help with any details missing from the listing.

  4. Delivery and order status

    Decide who should receive the digital reward and how it will reach them. Start with a small order to check your delivery flow. Keep the order reference, and check its status before repeating an order that appears delayed. For an integration, test the relevant API flow first.

Bring a clear brief to the pricing conversation

Tell us the countries, preferred brands, reward amounts and expected monthly volume. Add whether your business or the recipient will choose the reward, along with any deadline or integration needs. We can use that brief to discuss a suitable selection and account pricing.
