Ways to Contribute >

GIFT CERTIFICATES enable recipients to make donations to Catalogue charities. You--the gift giver--decide on the amount and use the instructions below to purchase the certificate either online or by US mail. THE MINIMUM GIFT CERTIFICATE DENOMINATION IS $50. We encourage a donation of $10 to the Catalogue for Philanthropy (to cover processing costs) for each gift certificate you purchase. You may simply add this amount to your total. Recipients receive a copy of the print Catalogue and a signed, authorized Gift Certificate (click here to see a copy) in the amount you name. They decide to whom they wish to donate, fill out the certificate, and return it to us in our self-addressed envelope.

To purchase Gift Certificates online:
1—Decide on the amount of the Gift Certificate you wish to purchase (minimum = $50). Consider adding your charitable donation of $10 to the Catalogue.
2—Click the DONATE NOW button below, and follow the directions, remembering to write GW-GC in the “designation” box for each certificate you order.
3—Write the NAME AND ADDRESS of the gift recipient in the “dedication or gift (optional) ” box so we can put the recipient's name on the certificate and mail it to him/her. Or put your gift recipient's name and YOUR mailing address if you wish us to mail the Catalogue(s) and Gift Certificate(s) to you. Make sure to include your own email address in the email box so that we can contact you if we have any questions.
PLEASE NOTE: If you identify yourself as "anonymous," provide no email address, and do not include either your name and address or that of your gift recipient, we have no means of sending the certificate or contacting you!
4--If you plan to order another GIFT CERTIFICATE, click "add another donation."
5—When the donation process is complete, you will receive an immediate acknowledgment and tax receipt from Network for Good, our online provider. Gift Certificate recipients do NOT receive a tax deduction but they will get a thank you letter from the charities they choose if you have provided us with the recipients' addresses. We aim to fill gift certificate orders within two weeks; as the holidays approach, we will get them in the mail as speedily as possible.
