When Cards for Causes began, the idea was simple: help businesses and individuals say thank you while giving back to the charities that make the world better. Since 2006, thousands of customers have picked a cause close to their heart, from children’s hospitals to animal rescues to veterans’ groups, and every order has sent something their way.
Along the way we took a hard look at how to make that last. Here’s what changed, and why.
A Giving Model Built to Last
Early on, Cards for Causes donated a fixed percentage of every order’s total price directly to charity. Generous, but it didn’t hold up as printing, shipping and people costs climbed. A model that gives more than the business earns doesn’t survive, and a company that doesn’t survive donates nothing.
So we changed it. We now donate 10% of net proceeds from greeting card sales to the charity you choose with each order.
That lets us keep giving on every greeting card order while also building the things our customers actually asked for: a better card customization experience, and done-for-you programs that handle the whole mailing for you.
The Same Mission, Made Sustainable
What hasn’t changed is the commitment. Every card you send through Cards for Causes still supports a nonprofit you pick.
What has changed is that those donations can now keep going year after year, through whatever the economy does next.
Thank You for Being Part of This Story
Cards for Causes exists because of customers who believe small gestures add up. Your trust and loyalty have let us give to hundreds of charities since 2006, and this change is how we keep doing it.
Thank you for sending cards that do some good.
