Give the Gift of Support​

Nonprofits are facing more challenges than ever and need your support. Individuals, foundations, and groups can directly support nonprofits by giving them a GiveNKind gift card for essential products. Together, we can strengthen the organizations that make a difference every day.

About GiveNKind

GiveNKind is a logistics nonprofit that supports the missions of other nonprofits by connecting surplus goods, donated by companies across the U.S., to Chicagoland nonprofits. Through its innovative logistics solutions, GiveNKind ensures that donated goods—from household essentials to pet supplies—reach the right organizations efficiently, maximizing social and environmental impact.

Gift of Goods

When you give a GiveNKind gift card to a nonprofit, you empower them to order the essential products they need at significantly reduced costs, exactly when they need them. Your gift also supports GiveNKind’s efforts to provide more essential resources to Chicagoland nonprofits.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Why is a gift card a good option?

Nonprofits pay a small administrative fee for the donated products they receive from GiveNKind, covering the costs of securing and distributing these goods. For example, a $100 pair of shoes from a retailer may have an administrative fee of just $5. This means that for the cost of one pair at retail price, a nonprofit can provide 20 pairs to those in need—maximizing their impact and stretching their resources further.

Do gift cards expire?

GiveNKind gift cards never expire and can be used until the full balance is spent. With our constantly changing inventory, nonprofits have the flexibility to order the items they need, exactly when they need them, ensuring they can make the most of every donation.

Can I access GiveNKind’s Resource Catalog and order products for my favorite nonprofit?

We appreciate your desire to support your favorite nonprofits! Since GiveNKind can only distribute donated products to 501(c)(3) nonprofits, purchasing a gift card is the best way to help. This allows your chosen organization to access the essential products it needs when it needs them most.

How is GiveNKind able to save nonprofits money?

Since products are donated to GiveNKind, our primary costs are for processing and distribution. Thanks to the dedication of hundreds of volunteers, we keep expenses low and pass these savings directly to our nonprofit partners, ensuring they can access essential resources at minimal cost.
