Did you know …
$33 per person in gift cards sold over the past 5-years will “never” be used?
$58 million in a metro area like Columbus, Ohio
Sure is a lot of money that could help your favorite charities!
So, collect gift cards along with the money you normally request.
FUNDRAISING METHODS
- Collect gift cards at school or the office
- Ask family, friends, and neighbors (Safety Tips)
- Ask for gift cards on your charity fundraising page
- If someone does not have money, ask if they have a gift card
- Check everywhere – junk drawer, bottom of purse – they will be surprised how many they find!
GIVE GIFT CARDS TO A CHARITY
I have collected a bunch of gift cards, so now what do I do?
- Drop them off at the charity’s office
- Give them to an event staff person at a charity race or other event
- Mail them to the charity’s office — be sure to use a bubble envelope or a box
Tell the charity to visit us at BAYCDA.org with any questions about donated gift cards.
