What is a Giving eCard?

Giving eCards can be purchased online, and the recipient can support any organization featured on AmplifyATX.org! Through this offering, any individual can share the joy of fundraising with their friends, family, or colleagues.


How do I buy a Giving eCard?

Giving eCards are easy to purchase and allow you to designate a recipient’s name and email address, along with a personalized message. The recipient will receive the Giving eCard via email with instructions on how to use the gift.

Multiple Giving eCards may be purchased by credit card and paid for all at once if you choose.

If you wish to send a Giving eCard to someone and you do not have the recipient's email address, we recommend inputting your personal email and printing out the receipt to gift in person.
