Giving Cards Make Great Gifts


The Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines offers a new and unique take on the gift card. Giving Cards are available for purchase through the Community Foundation and can benefit any 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Just like giving a gift card, you select the amount to be put on the card and then give it to the recipient of your choice. The recipient of your Giving Card can then choose the charitable organization of their choice to donate to. When you purchase a Giving Card you also receive a tax deduction.

Children’s Cancer Connection recently received a donation from a Giving Card. Jack Raedeker received a Giving Card from his parents as a Christmas gift. His parents told him about a few charities to select from and Jack chose CCC! A big thank you goes out to Jack for his selection, and to his parents Dan and Amy who were counselors at Camp Heart Connection years ago.
