So many charities to choose from!
When you have been married for 59 years, you probably don't need more stuff. So I was looking for a meaningful gift and had recently received a charity gift card and thought it might be a good idea.
Charity on Top (first of all, is a clever name) and supports soooo many charities. Even a small local one, that the long-time married couple had been involved with throughout their marriage.
Bingo!

Oh my gosh, this is the cutest review - thank you so much for sharing this story with us. Right! What do you get for a married couple of 59 years? A Charity On Top Card - and we are so glad to hear they found their favorite charity on our list. We do offer a lot of charities, but when the one you want is on there, then it is the perfect list! Glad we ALL helped make their amazing day more special.

Perfect gift and easy to customize
My team and I all pitched in to purchase a Charity On Top gift card for our bosses as a holiday gift. They LOVED it and thought it was so unique and the perfect gift. It was very easy to put our company's logo on the gift card, too!

Charity On Top is a fantastic service
Charity On Top is a fantastic service. Now I know longer have to worry about buying gifts for friends that they don't want. Instead, I give gifts that make them feel great (when they donate to a cause they love) and I feel great as well.

Top Notch Customer Service
We've been using Charity on Top at our firm for several years. Their bulk cards are easy to order, easy to get and easy to maintain. It is a pleasure to work with Marchelle and ordering is a breeze. I highly recommend them.

I purchased Charity on Top gift cards…
I purchased Charity on Top gift cards for my family and when they realized that they could donate the amount to the Charity of their choice it really inspired them. This gift spreads the joy of giving.
And my girlfriend bought Charity on Top gift cards for a Christmas stocking exchange and it was a big hit! Everyone loved them😊

Charity on Top is a Delight to my Clients
Charity on Top is such an incredible organization, and purchasing their gift cards goes beyond gifts. It has been a vehicle for my business with our give back portion where part of our fees are returned to the clients as gift cards. This gives us a big value add, has been the best delight for our clients, and allows charities near and far to have tangible support. They are THE place to go to give to charities in the world.

These were a big hit!
Bought a stack of these for Christmas presents. They were a hit and they were something my wife and I could really feel good about giving rather than just giving things people don't really need that they will use twice and throw away. There have been several holiday seasons I've come away from wondering what good did I really do? This was a great way to give the gift of giving and come away feeling like we did something positive in the world.

Hooray! This is exactly why we started Charity On Top almost 5 years ago - for this very reason. For givers to feel like they did something good with their "gift" money and for their recipients to be excited about a gift where they get to decide how to use it. We love supporting our favorite charities that do work close to our heart, so it is nice when someone empowers us to support what we love. It's far more personal and meaningful. Many thanks for taking the time to send in this review. We appreciate it!

I bought cards for each of our adult children as well as my sister's. It was a perfect way to give to someone in need and acknowledge them. I loved the many choices given for the cards and they arrived in the mail in just a short time. The selections of non-profits are limitless. This will definitely be a product/service I will use again.

We love that you are using Charity On Top gift cards as presents for the adult children in your family. It is a nice way to give a gift that they might not otherwise get for themselves and if they have a favorite charity, they immediately know exactly who they will gift it to. We also like that you like the "choices" with both cards and charities. We like to help empower people to give the gift of options! Thank you for the very kind review.

We've used Charity on Top for several years as our annual corporate Christmas gift. Even after receiving this gift a few times, the response from our partners is still overwhelmingly positive. Not only do they get the ability to chose a charity that's personal to them, but we feel good knowing that our gift is being put to good use.

Amy, thank you so much for the great review and the years of corporate partnership! We love that your company chooses to gift these cards every year and, we appreciate the additional corporate partners who have also reached out to us to get cards of their own, because they loved the ones they received from you. We are so excited to partner with you and love that your company shows its generous heart year after year.

I love this service
I love this service. Unfortunately, I had to follow up with the recipients because the email with their gift went to spam. If you can work on the spam and automation so it's clear who it comes from, it would make the process more seamless.
Date of experience: January 15, 2021
Reply from Charity On Top Foundation, Inc.
Yes! We completely agree. We all personally love our own spam filters (for the most part) but they are pesky for the rest of us when they try to filter out nice things like presents and gifts and Charity On Top cards. It doesn't always happen, because it depends heavily on the recipient's own spam filters (Google spam settings vs Outlooks spam settings, etc). We had a really good meeting with our developers today and asked them to spend more time trying to determine how we can best handle some cards going to spam.
12/18/2021 update: We are happy to say that we have changed email providers for our digital gift cards and the open rate is much better! Way fewer emails are going into spam folders now!
We will always re-send digital cards out for our customers - either to the same email or to another email address. We are here to assist.
This isn't the best solution, but maybe a decent interim option - we suggest sending (when ordering) the digital card to yourself and then forwarding the gift to your recipient from your personal email address.
Thanks for taking the time to write the review and share your feedback. We are so glad you "love" our service and our charity gift cards!
