Grateful Giving

Every transaction for good. Every time the world spends, we all can give. Connecting you with causes in need. How Grateful Works:
1.

This is where it all starts with Grateful and our giving platform. We are a nonprofit software company founded on the values of giving and doing good in the world. It’s a simple concept with a big mission to transform charitable giving for nonprofits, businesses, and individual givers. Send a Grateful Card to an employee, customer, or friend. A Grateful Card is a charitable gift card that you can

give to anyone to say thank you to show gratitude, acknowledge a special occasion, or for any reason really! This card allows you to make a donation in their honor to a charitable organization of their choice.

2. Your recipient receives an email with their Grateful Card and a unique invitation to access it in our app or online.

3. The recipient selects the nonprofits or causes that matter most to them to receive the donation. It's that easy to give Grateful! At our core, we believe business and technology should have a moral purpose and create positive change in the world. Our platform does more than connect organizations in need with companies and people who can give – it also creates community, unites people with a common purpose, and allows individuals to share their values and charitable interests with others. Grateful is more than a tagline or slogan for positive change – our team lives and breathes these values, and we partner with organizations that believe the same.

Gratitude is more powerful than we often realize.

Research published in Psychological Bulletin (2017), analyzing 91 studies and more than 18,000 participants, found a strong connection between feelings of gratitude and prosocial behavior like helping and giving.

When people feel grateful, they are more likely to take action to support others.

At Grateful Giving, we believe gratitude should not stop at a feeling. It should become something you can share.

Through the Grateful Giving app, you can send a message of appreciation to someone in your life and choose to include a small donation to a nonprofit that matters to them. One moment of gratitude can ripple outward to create real impact.

Send gratitude. Inspire generosity. Create change.
