Automatically donate a percent of your revenue to your customers’ favorite charities.
All businesses joining the GCB program in 2023 will earn the distinction of “Founding GCB” for as long as your business is active in the program
You strongly believe that giving back is a part of your mission.
You understand that your customers will appreciate you exponentially more if you support the causes they select versus you selecting on your own.
You want to give in the easiest way possible. A Grateful Certified Business requires less than 30 minutes of setup to start giving to your customers–it’s as easy as breathing.
Yes, mostly. A GCB donates a percentage of all primary customer transactions, however, we do not require you to include transactions that are not a primary source of your business revenue.
Yes! To be a GCB, a business must use an automated integration between Grateful and their billing system. Most giving programs out there do not require their participating businesses to confirm or prove their gifting. We do. When you shop with a GCB, you can be assured that you will get a % back to your Grateful account.
After you become a GCB, you’ll get access to several marketing benefits. We will provide you with the appropriate badge that you can add to your website and/or your marketing materials. Additionally, all GCBs are highlighted in our annual GCB report. Our first edition is expected to be released in January 2024.
Nope. Instead we charge an annual subscription fee to the GCB for the program, which ensures 100% of funds sent to customers via Grateful are donated to the charity of the customers’ choice.
We charge an annual subscription fee to each business that uses our platform. This allows 100% of donated funds to go to 501(c)(3) organizations.
Every donation made via Grateful is tax deductible for the entity paying for the donation. If the GCB paid for the donated funds, they are able to claim the tax deduction. Customers donating funds they have received from a GCB have the ability to add to those donations from their own wallets if they choose - and if they do so, the extra funds are tax deductible for the customer, as they paid for the donated funds.
Yes! Use the “Suggest a Nonprofit” button to request our team to add the nonprofit you’d like to donate to. We’ll confirm their 501(c)(3) status and have it added to our platform within three business days.
The pricing to be a GCB or Platinum GCB is exactly the same! The differences are:
The GCB program does not include any additional charges to the customer. This is not a round-up program where the business donates additional money from a customer. Instead, GCB members have chosen that they will provide a % of revenue back to their customers WITHOUT making the customer pay for it. This is why we highlight these businesses in our annual report - GCBs are truly making the world a better place!
After 90 days, undirected charitable funds are sent to the default 501(c)(3) selected by the business. Every GCB is donating from every purchase, even when their customer doesn’t select a charity.
We received your message and will get back to you soon!
