a charity gift card the recipient gets to direct
CharityChoice has been issuing recipient-designated donation gift cards since 2004. The buyer covers the cost; the recipient picks up to three charities from a vetted list of 2,500+ US 501(c)(3) nonprofits at ccgiftcards.org. Categories span environment, hunger and poverty, disaster relief, health and disease research, children, veterans, animal welfare, the elderly, and religious causes.
This page is for the crypto side of that purchase. Pay in any supported coin, get a CharityChoice code by email, hand it to the recipient. The charity selection happens at redemption — you don’t have to pick on the buyer’s behalf.
why pay for a charity card in crypto
A few obvious cases. Donors who hold appreciated crypto and want to convert it into a giving instrument without first cashing out to a bank account. Privacy-minded givers who’d rather not have a fiat trail tied to a specific cause. International supporters of US nonprofits whose card payments get declined by US-issuer gateways. Treasury or DAO operators batching annual giving from a multisig.
In each case the friction point is the same: the donation rail wants fiat and a US payment method. uSwap takes the crypto in, settles into what the gift-card desk needs, and emails the code. The CharityChoice card abstracts the rest — one purchase, 2,500 possible end charities.
how the crypto checkout works
Pick a denomination on the buy flow. The engine quotes the live conversion from your chosen coin into the settlement asset — BTC, ETH, USDT (ERC-20, TRC-20, SOL, TON variants), USDC, XMR, SOL, LTC, BNB, TON, DOGE, NEAR, TRX, and 20+ others across 30+ networks. Send the exact amount to the address shown. Once it confirms on chain, the CharityChoice code is emailed to the address you provided.
Crypto-to-crypto conversion runs at 0% on the uSwap side. The spend side carries a small retail markup that funds the engine — the same markup any gift-card reseller works on, just paid in crypto instead of card-on-file. There’s no spread baked into the quote, no membership fee, no KYC for this lane.
what the recipient does with the code
The email contains a redemption code and a link to ccgiftcards.org/redeem. The recipient enters the code, browses the charity directory by cause or by name, and assigns the full face value to one charity or splits it across up to three. CharityChoice then includes the allocation in its next quarterly distribution to those 501(c)(3) organizations.
Cards do not expire, so a recipient can sit on a code for months while they decide. Recipients who already know exactly where they want their giving to land — MSF, American Red Cross, Wikimedia, a local food bank — can redeem in under a minute.
good fit, less-good fit
Good fit: birthday and holiday gifts for people who don’t want more stuff, end-of-year giving from a crypto-heavy portfolio, corporate gifts where the company doesn’t want to pick a cause on employees’ behalf, condolence and in-memoriam giving, wedding registry alternatives.
Less-good fit: anyone who needs a specific named charity to receive funds immediately — quarterly batching means there’s a lag between redemption and the charity’s bank account. If immediacy matters more than the gift mechanic, a direct crypto donation to that specific charity is the cleaner route. CharityChoice’s value is the recipient-chooses-from-2,500 model, not real-time settlement.
one bridge, every future card
The checkout URL persists per device. Bookmark it and one address handles every future swap from this device — same flow whether you’re back next month for another CharityChoice card or buying something else from the catalog. No re-onboarding, no account, no password to lose.
If an inbound transaction misses the quote window or the rate moves out of tolerance, you keep control of the next step: re-quote at the new rate, hold and wait for the market to come back, or refund to an address you specify. That’s the whole point of running the engine in the open — the swap is yours, not the desk’s.
