Charity On Top Foundation Inc

My Barbershop singing Chorus and Quartet have a very supportive business owner and donor. We sing for an annual event at her store and she gives us Charity On Top cards. And Charity On Top staff are always very patient and supportive if we have any issues in managing to redeem the cards. Their system is an excellent way to support non-profit organizations.

We first heard about Charity On Top Foundation a few years ago, and we’ve been coming back ever since—they’re absolutely wonderful! This is our third year working with them to create gift cards for our clients and partners during the holiday season, and every experience has been fantastic. We’ve used both their digital and printed cards, and each has turned out beautifully.

The charity gift cards align perfectly with our values, and we feel great knowing that our clients and partners can choose to support their favorite charities in their local communities. It’s such a meaningful way to show our appreciation, and it always resonates. We consistently get positive feedback, and it’s become our favorite way to thank them each year.

Charity On Top is extremely quick and responsive, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Their customer service is top-notch, and they always go the extra mile to ensure everything is just right. We’re so grateful for their incredible work and highly recommend them!

Customer service at Charity On Top is amazing! They reacted to my inquiry super fast and provided clear instructions and information on how to register my non-profit. Super friendly service too. Thank you!

Charity On Top is wonderful partner of ours always great communication!

The Charity On Top Foundation is fantastic! My colleagues and I sponsor a corporate campaign initiative during the Fall of each year aimed at providing MUCH needed recognition to case managers and social workers all across the country who find their calling in serving low-income, elderly, frail and disabled people. Case managers are nominated by their peers and the Top Honorees and Honorable Mention recognition recipients are asked to direct a donation to the local/regional charity of their choice. Our company FUNDS the donation in the name of the social worker or case manager. Using the Charity On Top website and our corporate expense account credit card, my colleagues and I can EASILY send funds AND in a little blurb, we can tell them about the originator of the donation! EZ-PZ, fun & efficient! TY CoT!

I love everything about Charity on Top!! I first discovered them several years ago while searching for "gifts that give back".

Their physical gift cards were exactly what I was looking for!!! There's a wonderful selection of cards for every occasion (you can even personalize/customize them). The ordering process is quick and simple.

Customer service is phenomenal!! I called with a quick question and reached Kathy immediately. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and even recognized my name from previous orders!! When does that ever happen???!!!

I appreciate being able to pay a small additional percentage myself so that 100% of the value of the card goes to the charity. People like knowing that. (Most "gifts that give back" give just a small percentage to the charity.)

The list of charities to choose from is truly endless. The redemption process couldn't be simpler. Folks can search for a specific charity they have in mind or even put in the name of their town and up comes a list of participating local charities!!! The recipient being able to choose the charity is much more impactful than making a donation in somebody's name.

I've given cards to friends, family, and colleagues. EVERYONE comments about what a great gift they are. Many have started giving cards as gifts themselves. They've been especially helpful to me when I need a gift for the person who has everything or is tough to buy for. Sometimes I include them as a little something extra. Kids love them too! They enjoy the process of picking out a charity. It's a great way to introduce them to being charitable.

I can't forget to mention that I feel good giving them too :-) I just can't say enough about Charity on Top!!!

Our small environmental newsroom is extremely grateful for Charity On Top's support. Doing what we do wouldn't be possible with donations like theirs!

As part of the outreach team at Charity On Top, I've had a fantastic experience with the nonprofit. The platform’s unique gift card system has helped us connect with new donors and supporters in a way that feels personal and engaging. It’s an easy, effective tool to share our mission and encourage giving. We’ve seen a noticeable increase in both donations and awareness since we started using it. I highly recommend it for any nonprofit looking to grow their impact!

We work with Charity On Top to replace our business cards with giving cards. It's entirely consistent with our core values. It helps promote charitable giving and awareness of various causes, and (selfishly) nobody will ever toss your business card in the trash again. :)

Every year this organization gets better. Everyone there is outstanding.

Love Charity On Top Foundation! They are able to connect us with so many wonderful non-profits and it sure makes it easier to make a donation and make a difference in the world. Thank you!

We gave Charity On Top cards out to all staff for our annual holiday celebration, and they were a HUGE hit! Our staff loved being able to pay it forward! They were super easy to redeem, and no issues finding your favorite nonprofit to support!

Although we are just beginning our experience with Charity on Top, I am giving them a top rating for responsiveness to a needed request, even over the weekend! Thank you much! & we are hoping for a successful relationship with Kathy, myself & the many organizations that stand to win from this collaboration!

Charity on Top has been a fantastic fiscal sponsor. Helpful, knowledgeable, and expedient.

Charity on Top has been instrumental in helping my nonprofit achieve its 501 c-3 status. Kathy Selders has been absolutely amazing to work with, and I could not be more grateful for their help! They have also helped several of my peers in the youth nonprofit industry to further develop their projects.

Charity On Top has been assisting our efforts for over a year now, and have been a great partner who supports our mission, to provide help to those in need. They are heart driven organization. We absolutely appreciate everything they do.

My aunt liked the charity gift card we sent when my uncle passed away. My sister and I thought it was better than sending flowers.

I recently used Charity on Top to make a donation, and it exceeded all my expectations. Navigating the website was super user friendly and intuitive and the amount of charities I could choose from was very expansive. Making the donation was seamless and quick. I reached out to their customer service to ask a question, and they were quick, responsive, and very kind!

Charity on Top has been wonderful to work with! They are so quick to get us our gift cards, and they even caught a mistake on our custom cards and let us know about it so that it could be fixed!

A few years ago we started giving Charity on Top gift cards to our children and grandchildren every Christmas. It’s the best way we’ve found to teach the importance of giving. We used to make a donation to different charities every Christmas in their name, but it means so much more to them when they are involved in picking a charity that means something to them personally. After they redeem their card, they share their choice with the whole family, which is another positive perk as well. It makes giving to a charity much more fun, especially for the younger ones, and hopefully fosters a belief in the importance of giving to others.

Charity on Top makes gift giving so easy. Part of giving is the joy of watching the recipient open their gift. These gift cards let me not just give another trinket or a check, but a gift which makes me and the recipient feel good.
My favorite part is that the gift cards are customizable, I used my dog’s photo!
Planning on putting these in everyone’s stockings this year.

Charity on Top is an exceptional organization that I've had the pleasure of partnering with since conception of their board. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with their leadership. The team is comprised of professionals who believe in their mission and ensures everyone they touch knows how COT can benefit millions of nonprofits around the globe with their personalized gift cards.

If you are in need of a meaningful gift "for any occasion" that keeps on giving, COT is a click away from helping make this happen seamlessly! They will link you to one of the many charities they serve.

Congratulations Charity on Top Foundation! All of your hard work and dedication is an inspiration to witness and be a part of.

This nonprofit was very helpful to our top donor at our organization. Without this organization we would not received an additional funding for programs we need funded her at Baruch College. We are grateful this nonprofit exist to help our students have the best education possible.

We are so grateful for Charity on Top Foundation Inc. They are a vital link between willing donors and agencies like ours. Our agency provides individualized services to survivors of domestic violence. We are small in number and don't always have the time nor the manpower to do meaningful fundraising. Charity on Top helps bridge the gap so that our agency still receives needed funds to continue to provide services.

Z.H.

The leadership on this team is wonderful to work with. Very responsive, excited for opportunities where we can work together, and eager to find ways to make our partnership better. Couldn't ask for more!

Charity on Top is an incredible organization lead by a wonderful team. The work they do to increase giving is unique and fun. I highly recommend their platform for any gift giving occasion.

My experience buying a giving card through Charity on Top made me want to buy another giving card! Positive, uplifting and feeling good about doing good!

Several years ago, when I asked a friend what I could bring to her New Year's Day party, she replied: "I don't need another chocolate cake. Donate to a good cause instead." That has been an inspiration for me ever since when it comes to birthday & other gifts -- and thanks to Charity on Top for spreading the word and making it easier to do. PS The staff here are also incredibly helpful. On a recent Sunday afternoon, when I was having trouble locating the nonprofit I wanted to donate to, Kathy, one of the founders, answered the phone immediately. A real live human being!!

Working with Charity on Top feels like Christmas Morning every day - through the good times and bad. Every time they're working as the fiscal sponsor for the company I'm working at, Charity on Top helps us dot the I's and cross our T's whenever a payment processing question is involved. When problems come up, they give it their all and spent countless hours coordinating with us and demonstrated patience and grace throughout the working relationship we have. 11/10 would trust them with my own money for the degree of commitment and work they've done!

Sometimes it is hard to find the right gift for friends & family as we get older because we have more than we need. Charity On Top helped me with giving gifts that I feel good about and the receiver feels good about by passing it on to others in need. It's a Win Win. I can keep some on hand to have ready whenever the right moment comes around. At times I have customized one for a special occasion and I was able to do it all online.

Excellent gift idea with wonderful customer service! I bought these for Christmas gifts two years in a row for my stepdad who has everything already. He loved it ������

Birthday cards are no longer sent between my parents and I. That stopped a long time ago. We spoke on the phone and shared birthday salutations for years. More recently, it was texting back and forth. Nothing is more impersonal more than texting, right? Of course.

My parents are both getting up there in years, so I still want to remain connected to them while being across the country. I found Charity on Top gift cards to be the perfect compliment to my sentiment. If I see a cute picture I think they'll get a kick out of, I order a custom gift card from Charity on Top. They mail it for me too.

I put $25 on the card for them to donate to ANY charity they want. They always choose Compassion Int... Always.

I suppose I could just donate to Compassion in their name, but I'm trying to remain connected to them and doing that (donating directly) is the opposite.

Thanks Charity on Top for offering a great alternative to giving more stuff.

I recently started working with Charity On Top as a part time content intern for college, and even in the short time I've been with them it is obvious how deeply Kathy, Marchelle, and the whole team care about what they do. Charity on Top is seriously a passion project to promote giving in any capacity, and the hard work that they put in is clear to see. Kathy and Marchelle are incredibly kind and joyful, and will do anything to help whenever anyone needs it. The passion they share for the company makes it an amazing space to work and I cannot give enough praise to Charity On Top.

Thank you Charity On Top for giving me the opportunity to do such a unique service! Kathy and Marchelle are two of the most giving and compassionate individuals you will ever meet. It is astonishing to believe that only these two women run the company and keep such a consistently amazing track record. It is people like them that are able to make organizations like Charity On Top and truly change the world. Thank you for all that you do!

I LOVE giving charity gift cards as gifts! No one needs more stuff, and this is such a great way to let people support the causes they care about. Everyone I've given these to has absolutely loved it! So many great options.

Honesty, transparency and passion to serve communities are the trademarks of charity on top and it’s leaders. The leadership team also brings vast experience, credibility and professionalism to the organization and it shows in the massive growth they have achieved while serving so many charities nationwide.

I have consulted with Charity on Top to help me establish charitable giving for a book I have written. I was patiently walked through a number of options to best meet the needs of my philanthropic goals. The information provided was informative, easy-to-digest, and helped me better understand how I could make a difference. It was so refreshing to have a partner who truly understands this space and is passionate about sharing this information with all who seek to help others. I highly recommend them for any individual or company who wishes to establish charitable giving within their communities.

I purchased Charity on Top gift cards for my friends and my daughter's friends last year and they were very well received. Charity on Top makes it fun to give! I'm looking forward to buying more cards for this holiday season.

The customer service at Charity On Top Foundation Inc is excellent! I was trying to make a donation through a program with my employer - the instructions were very complicated so I called Charity on Top Foundation Inc for help - they helped me with my donation and made sure it went to the charity that I intended. They are super helpful and reply to inquiries very fast! Great experience and customer service! Keep up the excellent work!

Love this non-profit. They provide a service to help other charities by purchasing their gift cards. The recipient of your gift gets to pick the charity they want to donate to. Perfect for the person that has everything. They are very quick in getting the gift cards to you. One of my favorite non-profits.

I'm a big fan of Charity On Top! The designs are nice and sending them is very easy. People love getting them and donating the money to the nonprofit they pick.

I received a Charity On Top gift card. I had never gotten one before. It was awesome. What a great idea. I didn't know a charity card like this was out there. I really liked choosing my own charity. I do recommend it.

I absolutely love Charity On Top and its founders. What a great idea to give back to the community! I worked for one of the non-profits recipients of their gift cards donation. Thanks, Charity On Top for making a difference in the world.

The team from Charity ON Top was SO responsive, accommodating, and fun to work with! It was so easy to purchase gift cards with them, and if you are thinking of donating anywhere, I highly recommend you go through this organization! Special shout out to Kathy for being so on top of it and helping me out with a specific request - even past business hours. The customer service was a 10/10. Had such a great experience with her and the team! Thank you!

To give is better than to receive, and with Charity On Top, it happens three times. You get to give a gift card to someone, then they in turn get to give to their favorite charity, and then that organization gives back to the community. Wow, what a great way to make the world better by giving!

The founders sincerely care about who they work with, be it from volunteers, employees, or customers. I've been very impressed with the entire company and their beliefs and standards.

I am a Public Relations Intern at Charity on Top and I love working there. Definitely my favorite internship by far! It is a wonderful organization with an even more amazing team. The work they are doing for non-profits is spectacular and they really go the extra mile for their communities.

Charity on Top is amazing! Their unique model allowed us to easily provide donation gift cards without requiring any software. The team is incredibly responsive and flexible. The ability to use digital cards saved us in the middle of a pandemic. I would recommend them to any organization looking for a unique way to engage stakeholders and give back at the same time.

I have now worked with Charity on Top for the third year in a row for our client holiday cards and the experience working with Kathy and Marchelle has been AMAZING! They are so wonderful to work with, are so responsive, and do everything they can to deliver a seamless experience and such wonderful holiday and charity cards that our team and clients have come to look forward to every year! Highly recommend working with them!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this charity! I reached out to them because our office was looking for a unique way of recognizing our clients for their referrals (we are a financial planning office). Charity on Top's website is wonderfully user-friendly and so we decided that adding our logo to some charity gift cards as a thank you and inviting them to Charity on Top's website would be a wonderful gift! However, upon sending our logo to the company to print on our cards, the owner Kathy notified us that our logo was not a high enough resolution to make it look perfect. We have known this for some time but hadn't gotten it fixed. She contacted me immediately and offered to have her graphic designer literally redo our logo to match their specifications. What service! In addition, they made the cards, sent them priority mail, AND sent us our new logo for our business use. It is so rare for a company to go to that level with customer service and we are incredibly impressed! Not only do our clients receive a personal and unique gift, but we feel confident knowing that we are dealing with the 'best of the best' when it comes to charity gift cards and Kathy's leadership and personal touches certainly reflects that.

My business received a successful referral from someone recently. When I asked her which of our referral gift cards (gas, movie or dining) she would like, she declined and told me to just take good care of her client. Well, that's something my office team and I do already on a daily basis, but I still had the dilemma of making sure that I treat all my referees the same. So, what do you give someone who seems to have everything? My solution was to give her gift cards from Charity On Top. It was unique, never before seen or heard by her and most importantly accepted by her because she saw it as a way that she could help a non-profit of her choice, benefit from the gift, rather than herself. Thank you Marchelle Sellers and Kathy Selders for creating Charity On Top and giving my business a solution on how to handle the awkward situation of when someone declines my normal referral program.

We ordered gift cards for a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, one for the wife and one for the husband.
When it looked like the cards were not going to arrive on time for the event, I called Kathy and told her our dilemma.
Kathy went out of her way to solve our problem. At her own time and expense, Kathy went to the post-office and "over-knighted" us another set of the same cards we had chosen!
We received the cards on time for the celebration. We are so thankful for Kathy. The couple were delighted with their gift! Eager to see which organizations they chose to donate to.

Charity on Top is a wonderful nonprofit that allows you to spread the gift of giving to so many different worthy causes. The founders are truly passionate about the product and helping others, and are some of the most sincere, heartfelt, and passionate people I've met. This product truly allows you to encourage giving to charity while still allowing for personalization in gift card design & charity chosen and is the perfect holiday gift!

Charity on Top is a game-changer: democratizing fundraising by empowering donors to give the gift of giving. What an ingenious solution! I look forward to seeing all they'll do with their innovative approach to philanthropy. And women-led to boot! They've helped me organize my personal giving and share the cause of charity with those I know and love - and even with strangers! For that I'm extremely grateful.

I have never worked with two start-up founders who are more determined to use their ingenuity to create good in the world. The concept of Charity on Top allows people help others by supporting the projects that speak to them. Charity on Top makes that vision so much easier for both those giving and those that wish to encourage that behavior.

This is a brilliant idea run by sincere, caring, super smart women! Everyone wins when you work with Charity on Top. Sleek, eye-catching cards, clever promotional strategies and most important an effective, fun way to engage your employees, your supporter and prospective donors. Love this approach! Leadership Pasadena is proud to be a partner with them. And we are especially proud of Charity on Tops Co-Founder Kathy Selders, Leadership Pasadena Alumni, Class of 2018!

Charity on Top is a great way to share your love of helping others. By giving a Charity on Top gift card, your recipient gets to select the non-profit of their choice to benefit from the donation. This is such a special and thoughtful gift that anyone would cherish receiving.

Kathy & Marchelle are a couple of the most dedicated individuals I have met in our industry over 20 years. Their passion for non-profits of all sizes is shown in the system they have built. They have taken the "Gift of Giving" to a whole new level.

Terrific charity makes gift giving easy. You purchase a gift card, give it as a gift. The recipient chooses the charity that they like. And everybody feels good. A wonderful way to celebrate an occasion. Oh, did I mention that the customer service is terrific, and you can personalize the gift cards with any image you like.

Wonderful organization that gives back. I had the pleasure of interviewing the founders for my show " The Janet Zipper Show"

Charity On Top is an ideas whose time has come: philanthropic gift cards! As a nonprofit consultant and a business advisor to other consultants, I've used their cards and recommend them to other consultants as holiday and thank you gifts.

I've also had them provide me with custom cards for my business. They did a fine job.

Charity on Top is a wonderful non profit, helping so many other non profits. Marchelle and Kathy are true visionaries and I greatly appreciate the support they offer for my non profit clients.

Our organization used Charity on Top to design custom gift cards that we decided to give to each participant attending our team building event. We wanted to make sure that each person received a swag bag and this was the most popular item! They definitely exceeded our expectations and everyone walked away with a gift that they could pay it forward. It was a great way to emphasize to our team the importance of community and giving back. Highly recommend this amazing non-profit for any individual or organization looking for ways to give back or to be better corporate citizens.

Charity on Top is truly an amazing company with the best staff and inspirational concept. Their dedication to helping others shines through with all of the hard work they put into making sure that over 1.8 million charities are able to receive funds. Gifting to charities is an awesome concept that any and everyone can enjoy.

This organization means it when they say they are truly passionate about pushing as much money to as many small and large nonprofits as possible. And what they're doing really works. It's win-win all the way around.
