Fundraising gaps will be filled at Interface Children, Family Services of Ventura County thanks to a gift received from AT&T Wireless Services. The funds
were raised through its purchase of custom holiday cards from Cards With a Heart.
Through a partnership with corporations, Cards With a Heart custom designs greeting cards for holiday use and then donates 50 cents for every greeting
card purchased to the company's charity of choice. Through AT&T Wireless Services, purchase of greeting cards and its designation of Interface as the
recipient of its gift, the nonprofit organization will receive $5,000, according to Wendy Hauptman, owner of Cards With a Heart.
"With Cards With a Heart, a company is giving more than a card, it is giving a gift to the community," Hauptman said.
This philosophy of caring for the community is right in sync with AT&T Wireless Services' values, according to Sylvia Munoz Schnopp, AT&T Wireless
Services director of communications and public affairs for the Nevada and Ventura/Santa Barbara regions.
"AT&T Wireless Services received quality, custom cards and we were able to give to a local nonprofit organization. Giving to the community is the best gift
of all, so with this program we created a definite 'win-win-win' situation for everyone involved," Schnopp said.
During the holiday season, Interface targeted raising $40,000 for its counseling, education, shelter and treatment services for abused children, battered
women, their children and troubled individuals and families.
"This contribution really helps fill the funding gaps we have with the programs we provide to children and families throughout Ventura County," Chris Rutter,
development director of Interface, said.
Launched only this year by Hauptman, a former AT&T employee, Cards With a Heart already has generated more than $10,000 for nonprofit groups with
its holiday greeting card purchases by major companies.
"This does not include the amount raised through independent fundraising through the sale of greeting cards by nonprofit agencies," Hauptman said.
Without incurring any additional expense over what large corporate supporters generally budget for holiday greeting cards, Cards With a Heart designs
custom cards and helps promote their choice of charity by raising funds for and awareness about the group. In addition to generating funds for nonprofit
groups, the back of each card carries a message about the contribution and its contributor, as well as benefiting the organization.
Nonprofit organizations also can benefit by using their own custom cards for fundraisers, Hauptman said. In its inaugural year, Cards With a Heart helped
more than a dozen companies and nonprofit groups work together for the betterment of the community, Hauptman said.
