Did you know you can donate your gift certificates and gift cards to charities? Below are some examples of charities that except gift cards and gift certificates for donations.
"Donate gift cards from any company, any amount, and help Works of Life continue supporting the many causes and families regrettably falling through the cracks in today's society. 100% of your gift card donation goes towards helping others. Gift card fact; Did you know that 35% of Americans purchased gift cards in 2008 for a total of over $50 billion? Unfortunately this was down around 6% from 2007 due to the economy but $50 billion is still a significant number to us. What many people don't realize is that around 8% of that $50 billion is never even going to be used. Meaning these companies get to enjoy $4+ billion for free, every year! Works of Life makes it easy for anyone to donate gift cards, gift certificates or store credit from any company and help us make a difference. Every dollar counts!"
"Make-A-Wish Foundation welcomes donations of gift cards and gift certificates to a variety of retailers. Gift cards from discount retailers such as Wal-Mart, consumer electronics stores such as Best Buy, department stores such as Macy's, and shopping malls are used to grant wishes every day."
