For Good Causes Christmas Gift of Giving

Share this post

The Payments Association have decided to co-promote For Good Causes Christmas campaign. It’s a great opportunity to work together to make a difference.

It gives:

  • companies – a new way to celebrate the festive season with their staff
  • individuals – a way to support their favourite causes without putting their hand in their
    wallet, and
  • charities – access to funding after what has been a terrible financial year for most.

 

Christmas is NOT cancelled, even if Christmas parties have to be.

How does the campaign work?

1) Employers decide to use some or all of their Christmas 2020 budget to give each of their employees a For Good Causes digital gift card, and the denomination of the gift cards.

2) We send the Employer a file of ‘one time use’ digital gift cards.

3) The Employer emails the gift cards to their staff with redemption instructions.

4a) For Employers who require bespoke ‘branded’ redemption pages, we create the redemption page that employees will visit and either choose to donate to the employer’s partner charities or else choose from any of the >20,000 charities available on their platform. (Illustrative example below).

4b) Where bespoke ‘branded’ redemption pages, aren’t required, employees visit our central redemption page where they can choose from any of the >20,000 charities available on their platform. (Illustrative example below).

5) Any unredeemed tokens are donated to the pre-agreed charity of the Employer’s choice on 1st February 2021.

6) We provide employers with MI re the amount given to individual charities at the end of the campaign (31 January 2021)

What does it cost?

  • We charge employers a 5% service charge on the total value of gift cards issued. Digital gift cards are issued immediately upon settlement of the invoice. (*)
  • We don’t charge charities set up or participation fees.
  • Where employers require a bespoke ‘branded’ redemption page we charge a flat fee of £2,000 per page. (*)

(*) subject to VAT at standard rate.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
