There's no one way to gift or to give. At Snappy, we believe the most important thing is to always give back to others, which is why we are proud to be an official charity partner of Make-A-Wish and GetChange.io.

Through our flagship partnership with Make-A-Wish – and thanks to the support of Snappy's ever-growing community of gift senders and the generosity of their gift recipients who chose to donate the value of their gift to Make-A-Wish through the Snappy platform – we’ve been able to raise more than one million dollars (and counting!) to grant life-changing wishes for hundreds of children battling critical illnesses.

Our Snappy team also recognizes the need to proactively and reactively support a diverse group of organizations, all on missions to help others in impactful and meaningful ways. 

In 2022, Snappy began the expansion of our non-profit alliances through our partnership with GetChange.io to support even more 5013c organizations through Snappy gifting donations. 

GetChange.io is an all-in-one giving platform that handles instant payouts to nonprofits, provides regulatory compliance, and automates nonprofit impact reporting. By using the Change Donations API, Snappy is able to launch a wide variety of important social impact and cause marketing campaigns for over 200,000 unique charities.

“When it comes to making social good central to your business, Snappy has proven itself as a leader. When donating, we know how important it is to be able to find your favorite nonprofit. Snappy’s generous customers have donated to amazing organizations like Make-A-Wish, Project HOPE, and Girls Who Code. Thanks to this partnership, Snappy has been able to expand its reach and impact, provide critical funds to relief efforts, and make a tangible difference in the world,” says Sonia Nigam, CEO & Co-Founder, Change.

Snappy believes in gifting forward to give back, it’s why our award-winning business gifting platform offers recipients the power to choose their gift from a curated collection of products. Snappy now leverages the power of the GetChange.io API to integrate a variety of accredited charities into each of our curated gift collections. Each quarter, our product curation team evaluates new and existing charities that fit various criteria to be featured in our gift collections. Here is a sample of a few of the charity gifting options now available in some of our most-loved business gifting collections:
