At our 2008 Send Out to Give National Convention, SendOutCards announced the commencement of their charity program, which was officially launched on August 18. We encourage everyone to join us in contributing to these life-changing charities and to continue your efforts to "Send Out To Give."
How does the program work?
The charity program will allow SendOutCards distributors to choose from a variety of distributor-nominated charities and contribute on a one-time or ongoing, weekly basis.
How do I contribute?
To opt into the SOC Gives program, simply go to your Main Menu and click on the Business Office link. From your Distributor Tab, Business Office, click on "Commissions" and then "SOC Gives." On our donations screen you can monitor previous donations or click on "New" to donate. Select the charity you wish to donate to, your type of donation, and designate the desired dollar amount. To finalize your donation simply click on "Save" and you are done.
Your donation amounts will be printed on your check stubs to help you keep track of them, and on an annual basis SendOutCards will evaluate all charities and make a matching donation to the top two charities, up to a certain dollar amount.
What are the current charities I can donate to?

How do I get my charity in the program?
Distributors can nominate charities they would like included in the SOC Gives program by emailing support@sendoutcards.com. Keep in mind that only charities with a 501(c)(3) status, who have filed under the IRS form 990, preferably for at least 3-5 years, will be considered to be added to our SOC Gives charity program.
Charities will be reviewed by a committee, which includes SendOutCards CEO Kody Bateman. Not every charity will be included but those charities selected will be listed in the SOC Gives program.
