Integration into your fundraising: The HelpCard-Shop adapts perfectly to your image and will appear as a whole with your other fundraising tools, and therefore will become a part of your entire strategy.

Buying a present, not donating: Results have shown that people understand the HelpCard as a purchase rather than a donation. This is good for you in two ways: Firstly, the HelpCard is a very low-threshold donation tool. Making a donation is going to become a lot easier due to the gift card-mode. It also makes giving easier. Secondly, due to the perception of the HelpCard as a present, you have the possibility to utilise already existing communication channels, for this new form of fundraising.

Use it more than once: The HelpCard can be recharged and is easy to give as a present to the next person, which could have a snowball effect. This way you do not only receive more donations from one card, but also more addresses for fundraising.

All personal data are yours—the donor’s as well as the recipient’s. And the best about it, is that you can use the new addresses for traditional fundraising purposes.

New and younger donors: You can find younger target markets especially on Facebook. But the majority of people buying gift cards online are younger anyways. Take advantage of the internet and find new supporters apart from traditional target markets.

Little effort, big benefit: Until now, more than half of the organisations using the HelpCard were able to recoup the initial investment within the first few months, donation proceeds will increase and new target audiences will be reached – even small organisations can benefit from this!

Good average: So far, 25€ are the average donation, but most clients buy two or three HelpCards at the same time!

Only redeem it for your projects: Every online HelpCard-Shop is unique. And therefore HelpCards can only be redeemed for your own projects. A mix-up with other NPOs is impossible.

Very cost-effective: The investment needed for an online HelpCard-Shop is not high, plus it is easily refinanced through the sale of HelpCards. This way the NPO won’t have to stretch its budget too much. The three different kinds of HelpCard software (HelpCard-Standard, HelpCard-Plus and HelpCard-Premium), these different lines offer small, medium and large NPOs the perfect fundraising solutions.

Corporate HelpCards: Companies like to use the HelpCard as an incentive for emotional customer loyalty, e.g.: as a Christmas present. The HelpCard enables you to negotiate with their business associates on par, as they won’t perceive you as a mere supplicant anymore. Since you have the perfect marketing tool for them, which enables them to integrate customers and employees into their social commitment, alike.

Facebook HelpCard-app: Or you could embed the HelpCard-app specifically developed for Facebook on your fan page.  Use this opportunity to create a base of young supporters for your project

HelpCard in retail: The HelpCard also facilitates access to retailers. Thus you can be found where people are looking for small presents. Ask some retailers directly, whether they would be interested in selling your HelpCard.
