You Help Make the World a Better Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019ve given TisBest Charity Gift Cards to your friends, family, or colleagues, or received one as a gift, you\u2019ve helped amplify our collective impact. Donating to charity is a personal decision. Everyone has a story about why they are passionate about a particular cause. As a result, your donations have supported a range of charities from well-known national causes to small, hometown nonprofits. Over the past 15 years, each individual donation added up to millions of dollars in aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Feeding the Hungry to Caring for Cancer Patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few of the top receiving charities that used your donations to provide life-changing and life-saving support to communities in need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Small Donations Make a Big Difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever wondered if a small donation would even help your favorite charities, we are thrilled to share it makes a world of difference. There are so many small but mighty U.S. organizations that rely on donations to serve their local communities and even some with international reach. Here\u2019s how your generosity impacted a few of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pencils for Promise, Inc. ($1,440.88):<\/strong> This non-profit organization builds schools and increases educational opportunities in the developing world.

Businesses Spread the Wealth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the past 15 years, consumers have given 305,515 charity gift cards to their friends and families. However, they\u2019re not the only ones to #RedefineGifting. 7,412 businesses have joined the movement as well. In an effort to engage with employees and clients in a more meaningful way, CEOs, HR managers, and marketing teams have replaced traditional corporate gifts with TisBest Charity Gift Cards. Some businesses gave them as employee recognition<\/a>, client appreciation<\/a>, and holiday gifts<\/a> so associates could pay it forward to their favorite charities. Others replaced company merch at trade shows and conferences with the charitable experience. We are so grateful to the business community for sharing the joy of giving back with your associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
