In Two Taps, Mobile App Giftagram Lets You Donate Christmas Toys to Children in Need
The countdown to Christmas is on! With just 38 more sleeps until the big day, Giftagram has taken the age-old tradition of donating toys during the holidays and brought it to the digital age. Through a partnership with Toys for Tots, the Giftagram app makes it possible for Americans to donate gifts to less fortunate children, with just two taps of their smartphone.
For donors, that means no trips to the mall, no getting lost in toy stores, and no hunting for a donation box. Now for the first time ever, anyone can donate toys 24/7, from anywhere in the USA. Giving back is as simple as downloading the Giftagram app, picking a toy and hitting “donate”.
Giftagram CEO Jason Reid believes this tech-focused toy drive will resonate with young, time-strapped individuals who want to be thoughtful but still look for convenience. With toy options ranging between $10 and $150, there’s a price point to suit all budgets, which makes Toys for Tots optimistic the partnership will mean a great increase in donations:
“Finding a present under the tree on Christmas morning is an experience every child deserves,” said retired Marine Colonel Ted Silvester, Vice President of The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, “and now we’re thrilled to be partnering with Giftagram to make donating even easier. We can’t wait to see how much more joy this will bring to families and kids.”
Now in its 69th year, the not-for-profit organization, authorized by the U.S. Marine Corps, has collected and distributed over 500 million toys to date, all while raising over $250 million in funding.
