How to Redeem a Gift Card or Gift Certificate

What's A Gift Card?

Someone just gave you a chance to donate to the grassroots charity project of your choice! With a little help from GlobalGiving, creating change is three easy steps away.

How Do I Create Change?

1. Find a project that moves you.

  1. Browse by topic or geography and choose one or more projects you want to support. From education and health care to economic development and the environment, we have a project to address your interests - currently, over 425 projects in 70 countries!

2. Ready...set...give!

  1. Indicate the amount you wish to give (minimum $10) and click "Give Now." You'll be taken to your Giving Cart.
  2. You can give more than the amount of your Gift Card, and pay for the balance using a credit/debit card or PayPal.

3. You're almost done...

  1. Click on the link that says "Have a gift card or gift certificate?" to reveal the gift card box.
  2. Enter your Gift Card or Gift Certificate code into the box that appears and hit the "update total" button after you enter the code.
  3. Your Donation Total will adjust by the amount of the Gift Card. Click "Pay With a Gift Card(s)" and if the balance was $0, you're all done! If a balance remains, you'll be prompted for payment information.
  4. If you redeemed part of your Gift Card, your Gift Card will retain the remaining balance.
  5. You'll receive a confirmation via email.
