InComm Payments, a global payments technology provider, has teamed up with Mastercard to introduce the Mastercard “Give Hope” Gift Cards supporting the American Red Cross.
For every purchase of a “Give Hope” gift card on www.mastercardgiftcard.com, InComm Payments will donate $2 from the purchase price to American Red Cross disaster relief.
Approximately every 8 minutes, the American Red Cross responds to a disaster, including storms, home fires and countless other crises. The donations generated with every purchase of a Mastercard “Give Hope” Gift Card will go directly back to the Red Cross to support the growing needs of communities coping with disasters big and small and extreme weather events.
"Delivering our lifesaving mission to those in need is more important than ever," said Anne McKeough, chief development officer at the American Red Cross. "I'm honored to extend our heartfelt gratitude to companies like Mastercard and InComm Payments - and their customers - that help us provide hope and comfort to so many all year long. Your generosity lights the way for families and communities facing their darkest hour.”
“Gift cards remain popular because gift givers like providing recipients with the gift of choice, and now we have an option that also delivers hope and support to those who need it most within our communities,” said Jaime Yeager, Vice President of Business Development at InComm Payments. “We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the American Red Cross and Mastercard to bring more meaningful gifting options for holiday seasons, special occasions and more.”
“As a long-standing partner of the American Red Cross, Mastercard supports their efforts through products and services, as well as donations, employee matching and volunteerism,” said John Levitsky, US Co-President, Mastercard. “By collaborating with InComm Payments and the American Red Cross, we are able to introduce a card product that provides consumers with a direct way to meaningfully contribute to disaster relief efforts through their gift-giving.”
The new Mastercard Give Hope gift cards can be purchased online at www.mastercardgiftcard.com. Delivery options include eGift Card formats. Digital eGift Cards provide near-instant gifting options with most orders delivered within five minutes and immediately ready for use upon download.
