The invention relates to a new method and system for enabling charitable donation giving through the donation of a gift card or gift certificate issued by any number of businesses and donated through a donor of the gift card/certificate. The system collects the gift card, converts the gift card into funds and then distributes at least part of the funds thus generated to at least one charity. The system also issues a receipt to the donor indicating how much was obtained for the donated card, and, optionally, how much of the collected funds were given directly to a designated charity. The funds are obtained by selling the donated gift cards.
