In order to be included in the CardsThatGive.org site, a U.S. charity must meet several criteria. 1) It must be a 501(c)3 organization, if within the U.S.; a non-U.S. organization must be registered as a charity with its government. 2) If Charity Navigator, an independent non-profit charity evaluator, has examined the charity, the non-profit must have received a rating of at least two stars out of a possible four. Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy Puppies Behind Bars We also consider the percentage of the card price that supports the non-profit’s mission, the ease of the on-line ordering procedure, the quality of the cards (cards should use at least 80# card stock, for example), and whether clear images of the cards are available. The design quality of the cards and their subject matter are also important. For example, cards featuring primarily local subjects, such as those depicting local landmarks, are not included. We seek visually appealing, professional quality cards whose subject and purpose will interest a national audience, and may decline to list cards that do not meet our criteria. In order to list cards we request clear images of the front, inside, and back of a representative card; the card stock on which the cards are printed; and the percentage of the card price that the organization receives for its work. If the organization offers imprinting we also include details about the imprinting services available.
