Give a Good Card

Buy a Good Card, receive a tax-deduction, and give the Good Card to a relative, friend, client or coworker for any occasion.

Charity Navigator is pleased to offer the Good Card, a gift card for charity where the recipients get to donate to their charity of choice. Your friends, family and colleagues all have their favorite charities and by purchasing a Good Card you can give them the perfect gift to celebrate the holidays, birthdays, graduations and other momentous occasions.

How it Works:

  • You simply pick the amount and your recipient selects the charity (or charities) to receive the donation.
  • You can order the Good Card online by clicking on the button to the right.
  • You can choose to send it via email with a link back to Charity Navigator encouraging the recipient to do some research prior to selecting a charity. This ensures that the money you’ve contributed via the Good Card will go to a well-run, deserving charity. Email delivery is also perfect for last minute gifts.
  • Alternatively, you can send it via regular mail as a plastic card. Keep in mind that with this option you will need to allow two weeks for printing and mail delivery. Plastic cards must be ordered by 12/15 in order to ensure that they are received by Christmas.
  • When you purchase a Good Card it is tax-deductible for the buyer. When the recipient redeems a Good Card it is not tax-deductible for them.
  • The Good Card expires 12 months after it was purchased.
  • Charity Navigator is offering Good Cards through a partnership with Network for Good. For a detailed explanation of the terms and conditions, please visit Network for Good.
