Raising Cash with Cards

65% of Americans say they will research a company to see if the brand’s cause affiliations are backed with real action. Even more, 76% of Millennials will do the same. Fundraising can be the ultimate act to pledge your brand’s commitment to a cause. PLI has a full suite of tools to help generate the greatest return on your initiative, no matter what industry you are in.

• Marketing – Fundraising cards and key fobs can offer a sponsor’s or advertiser’s discount with purchase
• Hospitality – Custom hotel key cards or luggage tags with a QR code that drives patrons to a donation web page and can be reinforced with matching fund
• Retail – “Give” cards that are donated to a charity with a customer’s purchase
