Gift Certificate Center and JustGive.org Create New Easy Way to Give
AP JUSTGIVE.ORG- “Despite the slow economy, our country’s spirit of charity remains high. A nationwide study conducted by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, showed that nearly three-fourths of adults contributed in some way to help victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
To further that spirit of philanthropy, Gift Certificate Center, a Hallmark company, and JustGive.org are partnering to provide an easy way to give. Gift Certificate Center customers can now donate all or part of their Premiere Choice Award to charity. The company has a long history of supporting charities and is pleased to join with JustGive.org to offer this option to its clients.
“As a company we want to assist charities in any way we can. We know our customers are eager to give back as well,” said Erika Perrault, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Gift Certificate Center. “We think this is an exciting new way to support the charities that make such a difference in our communities.”
A portion of or an entire Premiere Choice Award can be donated in the categories of Animals, Children & Youth, Disaster Relief, Environment and Hunger & Poverty. Gift Certificate Center and JustGive.org, a non-profit service whose mission is to connect people with the charities they care about, will pass along 100 percent of the donation. This reduces fundraising costs for the charities and increases the impact of the donation.” Click here to visit http://www.justgive.org
