Charity Gift Cards Make Great Corporate Holiday Gifts

By: megan m Home | Home-and-Family


Charity gift cards are one holiday gift idea that is becoming increasingly popular, particularly as corporate holiday gifts. The corporate world is no exception when it comes to gift giving and showing appreciation, since they know how important it is to cultivate good relations with their existing clients or employees. You must always see to it that your employees are well motivated and always full of enthusiasm, as their performance and morale is what keeps your business thriving. The best way to do this is to show your employees that they are important to you, or by acknowledging them for their good work. The year end or holiday gift that is typically given employees and clients is the best time to show your appreciation. Charity gift cards have become a meaningful option for these year-end gifts among corporations.

Charity gift cards as corporate gifts are beneficial to all parties involved. The recipients are given the opportunity to pass the giving on by choosing where they would like the funds to be donated. The corporations who choose to use charity as their holiday gift to their employees and/or clients are benefited by the tax deduction they are given at the time of purchase, the appreciation of those they give them to, and the satisfaction of helping those in need. The clients or the employees also take receiving charity gift cards as a positive approach on behalf of the company, trying to do a greater good through their associates’ participation.

This unique and innovative gift idea allows small businesses or large corporations to customize their gift cards or redemption pages to include their company logos and message. They are given the opportunity to choose the amount of the donations, and then the recipients, upon redemption of the gift cards, can choose their favorite cause to be given the funds. Many organizations who offer these gift cards also make it possible for one to fund different charitable caused through one charity gift card, where the entire amount is split equally among the charities chosen.

Corporations who have chosen to take advantage of these meaningful gifts are not only able to show their appreciation to the recipient for their hard work or loyal business, but their own commitment and social responsibility by helping those in need. It also allows the recipients of the gift cards to get a greater feeling of selflessness, since it may allow them to be more generous in benefiting charity than they would have been able to otherwise. Corporations can also promote their company by taking advantage of the option to bulk order their charity gift cards with their own custom design.

You can purchase charity gift cards in any denomination, making it easy for corporations to plan their budget for holiday gifts in advance, and take advantage of the tax deduction they will receive upon purchase. The IRS allows corporations to take a charitable donation deduction of up to 10 percent of their net income. If a corporation chooses to donate more than this 10 percent, they are allowed to carry over the amount to future years. (charitablegift.org/charity-giving-programs/corporate-giving.shtml)

The feedback from recipients of these holiday gifts has been nothing but positive and enthusiastic, as most of us are charitable by nature. Everyone is able to reap the benefits of charity gift cards, but most importantly, we are acknowledging and doing our part in helping out those in need during the holiday season.
