Cards for Good Causes is the UK’s largest multi-charity card and gift retailer supporting local and national charities. We operate all year round as a charitable gifting website, plus open the doors of Christmas pop-up shops during the Christmas season (October-December).
Yes. 10% of the retail value of the card goes directly to the charity. We are looking to increase this % in the coming years as the retail market stabilises.
90% of the retail value covers the cost of the cards, storage costs, shop staff, rental fees, head office staff, web maintenance and logistics costs. Cards for Good Causes is a not-for-profit organisation and we keep these costs at a minimum to ensure our charities receive as much as they can. As the company restabilises following a turbulent few years we are looking to increase the % returned to the charities.
No. The Charities receive the full 10% with no associated cost.
The sale of these products helps to meet some of the costs of running our temporary pop-up shops and website, so more of the proceeds from card sales can be passed back to the charities.
We accept all major credit and debit cards. We also accept payment through PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay as alternative payment methods.
We don't store your card details personally. We use a third-party company called Squareup who are a global multi-currency online payment processor that offers a secure payment process.
