GIVE the Gift of Giving
South Central Community Foundation is pleased to announce the Giving Card Program. This program helps introduce charitable giving in a way that is unique, meaningful and fun.
How it Works
You purchase a Giving Card and pass it along to someone else. The person receiving the Giving Card passes on your gift to the charity of his or her choice. Instructions for redeeming the Giving Card can be found on the back of the Giving Card.
Giving Cards can be redeemed to benefit any 501(c)3 public charity in the United States. You can order a Giving Card HERE.
