Consider Holiday Tribute Cards

Sulzbacher Center, Jacksonville, FL
(This card says, "In celebration of the holidays, the gift of a good night at the Sulzbacher Center has been given to a homeless man, woman, or child in your honor. Happy Holidays! Cost: $7-15, depending on quantity)

Idea for businesses: why not send tribute cards this year?  You can show you care about your community / the world, help a worthy charity, receive a tax deduction, send an appealing and memorable card.  Great for all. 

We're adding more tribute charities this year, but already you can visit our tribute card section to choose from more than fifty food banks, hospitals, animal rescue centers, and other good non-profits.

Love Without Boundaries
(This $10 card says: "A donation has been made in your name to Love Without Boundaries' Medical program. This donation will help provide medical care to orphaned and impoverished children in China.")

 

A holiday tribute card -- in case you're not familiar with them -- represents a donation to a charity in the recipient’s honor.    

Most donations are in the $10 range; some more, some less.  Close in price to a fancy card from a status stationer, and much more in the holiday spirit!

New Tribute Cards: North Texas Food Bank

The North Texas Food Bank's pantries distribute food to more than 50,000 families each month and on-site meal programs serve 435,000 meals and snacks.  Its $6 tribute cards feature a swirl of snowflakes made of plates, spoons, and forks. 

One of the NTFB's programs is Food 4 Kids.  Children identified by school personnel as being at risk of hunger receive approximately four pounds of food in their backpacks each Friday. On Monday, children return the empty backpacks and they are refilled for the next Friday. In the 2009-2010 school year, the NTFB provided 278,252 backpacks.

The card cost goes down to $4.50 each if you buy 50.

New Tribute Card: Children's Hospital Boston

We just added the Children's Hospital Boston's tribute cards.  Each card represents a donation of at least $5 and reads, “In the spirit of the holiday season [your name] has made a gift in your honor to Children’s Hospital Boston.” 

The hospital will send the cards for you if you like.

New Holiday Tribute Card: Lambi Fund of Haiti

Our newest holiday tribute card is from the Lambi Fund of Haiti.  Founded jointly in 1994 by Haitians and U.S. residents, Lambi has earned 4 stars from Charity Navigator for its efficient use of funds.

After making a contribution, such as $10 for seeds or $25 for fishing nets, donors are invited to download and print a donation certificate or one of the holiday cards above.
