What to Get Cousin Cal? A Good Card!
Why buy a toxic Bob the Builder this holiday when you give the gift that not only does no harm - it does good.
The Good Card is a gift card for charity – where the recipient gets to donate to their charity of choice. That includes ANY charity with registration in the US – up to 1.7 million. Customers, clients, employees, friends and family all have their favorite charities and now you can give them the perfect gift – a donation to their favorite charity via Network for Good’s secure giving system. That includes the charity fighting a disease that’s touched their family, their alma mater—or even your organization!
And yes, I work for Network for Good, so this is product placement.
How it Works
§ At www.networkforgood.org/goodcard, you can buy a card to be mailed or choose an electronic gift card to be sent
§ Your recipient receives the cards via mail or email (or you can send it to yourself if you want to give it in person!)
§ The Good Card recipient comes to Network for Good’s website, chooses a charity and then enters the amount to donate using the code on their Good Card/email
§ Network for Good sends the charities the donation
§ Cost per card is $5. 100% of the card value goes direct to charity.

Dear Katya, it’s a great idea! I will certainly use this.
I have a question ... I heard or read someone, that only a very small percentage of gift cards are ever “redeemed” by the recipient. I would presume that this might be the case for the “good card.” What happens to the funds from un-redeemed “good cards”—will the funds be distributed among Network for Good charities?
