CharityChoice Gift Cards are recipient-designated charity gifts: a project of Special Kids Fund (501c3, EIN 58-2550249). Only the gift-recipient is entitled to designate the charity, which he/she may do at any time. If a card is purchased in order to use to donate to a charity, and not given as a gift; then the card-holder may redeem the card. Cards never lose value, nor expire. We always retain a reserve for honoring unredeemed cards. Purchases of gift cards are charity donations, that are 100% tax deductible at the time of purchase; and, as such, are non-refundable.

FEES: The funds are allocated from Special Kids Fund, usually quarterly (4 - 6 weeks following the ending), to the recipient's designated charity; deducting $0.50 per card [for cards $2 and up]+ 5% administrative fee and 3% credit card processing (used towards management of this nonprofit fundraising program, and towards our mission to benefit special needs children).

Note: Occasionally, a larger than 5% administrative fee may be required; depending upon how the card is purchased and the costs involved, e.g., affiliate marketing.

REWARDS PROGRAMS: 10% total fee deducted for cards ordered through rewards programs (includes all fees, marketing and program expenses).

Please note that unlike for-profit websites and charity portals, CharityChoice is run by a charitable organization with a distinct cause and mission, providing for special needs children. So using our service is worthwhile all around!

SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Physical Cards - $4.95 per order (for any quantity of cards shipped to a single address) for USPS First Class mailing with additional options for expedited shipping available at checkout.
