When Cards for Causes began, the mission was simple: help businesses and individuals express gratitude while giving back to the charities that make the world better. Over the years, thousands of customers have chosen a cause close to their heart — from children’s hospitals to animal rescues, veterans’ groups, and more. Together, we’ve made a meaningful difference with every order.
As we’ve grown, we’ve taken a hard look at how to make that mission last for the long haul. The result is a change that makes a big impact on our ability to keep giving.
A Giving Model Built to Last
In our early years, Cards for Causes donated a fixed percentage of every order’s total price directly to charity. While generous, that model became increasingly difficult to sustain as costs rose after COVID — from printing and shipping to the discounts we extend to loyal customers. Adjusting our approach ensures we can continue giving back responsibly for the long term.
To ensure we can continue donating for decades to come, we’ve refined our approach. We now donate a portion of proceeds — specifically 10% of profits — to the charity you choose with each order.
That means we can keep supporting the causes our customers care about while also investing in better experiences, faster fulfillment, and new features (like an improved card customization experience) that make every purchase even more meaningful.
The Same Mission, Made More Sustainable
What hasn’t changed is our commitment to giving. Every card you send through Cards for Causes still supports a nonprofit of your choice. Every order still helps fund the work of hundreds of incredible organizations.
What has changed is that our model now ensures those donations can continue year after year — even as we modernize our systems and grow.
These changes are about making sure Cards for Causes can always do what it was created to do: turn gratitude into good.
Your Impact Continues
Each year, we publish our Annual Charity Report to share how customers like you are making a difference — highlighting the most popular causes, donation percentages by category, and the charities your purchases supported.
We’ll continue to share those updates transparently so you can see the impact of your support and know your cards are part of something bigger.
Thank You for Being Part of This Story
Cards for Causes exists because of customers who believe that even small gestures can create lasting impact. Your trust, loyalty, and generosity have allowed us to donate to hundreds of charities since 2006 — and this change helps ensure we can keep doing it for many years to come.
Thank you for being part of the community that gives back with every card.
