SAN FRANCISCO, April 25, 2023 – Snappy, a leading corporate gifting platform, has partnered with Change, a technology platform powering donations and social impact, to support earthquake relief efforts in Turkey and Syria. Change provides the technology that allows Snappy gift recipients to choose charitable donations as one of their gift options, broadening the opportunity to give back. At time of publishing, Snappy customers have raised over $20,000 to organizations that are helping in impacted regions.
Following the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, relief organizations sounded the alarm to support rebuilding efforts. Because Change provides access to over 1 million accredited charities and vets organizations to support during times of crisis, Snappy was able to quickly add new nonprofit options to their curated gift collections. Over a period of two months, Snappy raised over $20,000 for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the Syrian American Medical Society Foundation, and Project Hope.
Snappy recipients have the ability to donate their gift to theme-based causes. Change manages the regulatory and compliance components associated with donating to multiple nonprofits, providing a consolidated tax receipt and managing nonprofit verification to ensure that donations are directed only to trusted and credible organizations. Due to this relieved burden, Snappy is able to seamlessly integrate charitable giving opportunities into their platform.
"At Snappy, doing good and spreading positivity are at the core of what we're building. This is why we are dedicated to creating experiences across our platforms that make it easy for people to directly impact the lives of others, whether it is through the joy of gifting or extending support through charitable donations. Partnering with Change allows us to broaden the opportunity to choose the perfect gift by including timely social impact as one of our possible selections."
– Rachel Kowarski, Head of Strategic Partnerships & Curation
Charitable giving has been part of Snappy's DNA from the start. This long-standing partnership with Change has enabled Snappy to donate to a multitude of causes, having raised over $1 million for Make-A-Wish and over $50,000 for UNICEF in Ukraine over the past two years.
