Giving through Purchases and Rewards

Amazon Smile

Carver participates in AmazonSmile. AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice.

Other Ways to Give

Most major credit card issuers let you donate your rewards. The process (and restrictions) vary. Some cards will have a list of partner charities to choose from, including point-donation tiers and dollar amount equivalents.

American Express gives cardholders the option to donate Membership Rewards® points through JustGiving in exchange for a monetary donation to one of 1.5 million U.S. charities, including Carver. Cardholders can also make point donations to Breast Cancer Now and The Global Fund (converted to cash by Amex), with donation levels ranging from 500 to 10,000 points.

Hilton Honors-branded credit card gives you the option to donate your points via PointWorthy. Similar to Amex’s JustGiving partnership, cardholders have the option to search by charity.

Should you personally know someone that needs help, consider directly transferring your credit card rewards to them or even pooling your points. Rules and restrictions for point transfers and pooling vary from issuer to issuer, so do your research before reaching out to a loved one.
