In the online environment, alternative gift-giving ventures have been extremely successful and hjc has become expert in this area. We help launched Oxfam Unwrapped in Canada (www.oxfamunwrapped.ca) in 2006. Since then, hjc has also helped a wide variety of non-profits join the ranks of successful online alternative giving including:

• Humane Society International – www.humanegifts.org
• WaterCan – www.giftsofwater.ca
• CHF (formerly Canadian Hunger Foundation) – www.giftsthatmatter.ca
• Canuck Place Children’s Hospice – www.preciousgifts.ca
• SickKids Foundation – www.sickkidsgetbettergifts.ca
• Ontario SPCA – www.pawsandgive.ca

hjc can help your organization to help create, launch, and market your alternative (symbolic) gift campaign online. If you need just one or two things to get your campaign up and running, we can do that too. You might already have a technology solution and just need improvements, tweaks, or better marketing. You might need to improve your technology. Whatever you need, we can help!

There is also a low cost alternative for charities who need a simpler, bare-bones symbolic gift campaign called Charity Gift Bag (www.charitygiftbag.ca), a service hjc helped create. You can sign up yourself or hjc can help get you up and running. Either way, it’s a low risk approach to get into this area of fundraising.
