Make Your Presents Charitable Donations This Holiday Season

Do you need a meaningful gift for your loved ones this holiday season?

2021 is the perfect year to give charitable donations as gifts in honor of your friends, family, community, and the issues about which you feel passionately. Your like-minded recipient friends and relatives will appreciate that they, too, can engage in creating the much-needed impact needed to move forward with the new year.

There are many organizations that have created holiday gift programs for you to look into this season, ranging from environmentally conscious to human interest-oriented. Here are some inspiring holiday gift campaigns that benefit nonprofits:

Best Friends: Symbolic Charitable Gifts

“Give a gift that goes straight to helping animals, providing love, care and companionship this holiday season. These gifts are symbolic, so no matter which one you choose, you’re making a big difference for homeless pets here at the Sanctuary and around the country. And you’re making life meaningful, too. That’s what the holidays are all about, right?”

Oxfam: Gifts That Give Back

“Your symbolic gift is actually a donation that will be used where it is needed the most—to help people living in poverty around the world.”

Heifer International: Holiday Gift Catalog

“Your gift will give families the resources and training they need to lift themselves from hunger and poverty.”

Feeling inspired?

If you run your own organization, there is still time to promote charitable donations to your nonprofit as meaningful holiday gifts. With each holiday donation, send in response printable holiday e-cards to your donors with room to write a note to the recipients of their gifts. If your organization uses Flipcause, donors can also easily make their contributions in honor of someone else, a perfect way to utilize the system for holiday gift-giving.

Let your donors know you have a wonderful last-minute holiday gift idea — donate to your organization, honoring loved ones, and giving back to the community at the same time!
