Nonprofit appreciation gifts for the people behind the mission
Staff, volunteers and donors all give more than the role asks of them. Gifted sends nonprofit appreciation gifts to each of them without taking a cut of money that was raised for the work.
Free forever. No card, no contracts, no minimums.
Gratitude is the line item that gets cut
Nobody at a non-profit is short on gratitude. What is short is time and money. Volunteer hours sit in one spreadsheet, the donor list in another, and the thank-you waits for a spare afternoon that never comes. Every dollar spent on appreciation has to justify itself against the program it came out of, so most of the time it does not get spent at all.
Nonprofit appreciation gifts for volunteers, staff and donors
Between them they cover almost everyone who makes a non-profit work.
Thank the volunteers
Send a gift the moment a shift or a drive ends, from a list you upload yourself. Volunteers are not on payroll and they do not need to be.
Nobody logs 200 hours for a certificate.
Keep the staff you have
You cannot outbid the private sector on salary, so recognition has to carry more weight. Birthdays and anniversaries sync once and send themselves on the day.
Replacing a program manager costs more than thanking one.
Follow the gift back
A one-time donation can fund a whole program, and it usually gets a receipt letter in return. Send something the donor actually chooses instead.
A wire transfer deserves better than a mail merge.
Set the amounts once, send all year
Bring the lists in
Connect your HRIS for staff, and upload a CSV for volunteers, donors and board members. There is no per-user cost, so nobody has to be left off.
Set an amount per group
Decide what a volunteer shift is worth and what a five-year staff anniversary is worth. Give a coordinator a small budget if you want them sending too.
Show the board the numbers
Gifts go out on the day. You can export what was sent, what was opened, and what came back unredeemed.
Five minutes from sign-up to your first gift.
You set the amount, they choose the gift
Gift cards are where most non-profits start, and they are not the whole catalog. One gift can go toward a spa afternoon, a physical product, or your own branded swag, or be split across all three.

The whole budget can reach the people doing the work
Appreciation is easier to defend when none of it goes to software.
Automate the dates that never change, let the coordinators who see the hours send the rest, and put the full amount into the gift instead of a share of it into a license.
Nonprofit gifting questions
How is this free for a non-profit?
Gifted charges no platform fee, no user fee and no minimum. You pay the face value of the gifts you send and nothing else. ACH and wire are free. Credit card 3%. International FX 5%.
Can we send to volunteers and donors who are not employees?
Yes. Anyone with an email address can receive a gift. Upload a CSV or add people one at a time, and there is no per-user cost either way.
What happens if a gift is never redeemed?
The money comes back to you. 100% within 72 hours, and 75% up to two years, so unspent appreciation returns to the program.
Can we thank supporters outside the US?
Yes. Gift links work in 150+ countries and the catalog carries 4,500+ gift card brands in local currency, so a volunteer in Nairobi and one in Nashville both get something they can use.
How do we account for what we spend?
Every gift is recorded against the group it was sent to. You can export what went out, what was opened, and what was refunded, which is usually what a board or a funder wants to see.
Other ways teams use Gifted
Church volunteer appreciation gifts
Church runs on people who show up early, stack chairs and greet strangers by name.
Employee recognition
Thank people while the work is still fresh, on autopilot.
Peer-to-peer recognition
Most peer recognition programs celebrate one winner and quietly ignore the twenty people who noticed the work first.
Wellness gifts for employees
One person wants a massage gun, one wants trail shoes, and one just wants dinner delivered on a sick day.
