Greeting Exchange is an innovative, web-based service designed primarily for schools, PTAs, and churches to orchestrate a distinctive fundraising project. These projects can align with any notable occasion — be it a school milestone, Teacher Appreciation Day, religious holidays like Easter or Christmas, or a significant date pertinent to your community, such as a school anniversary.
Schools and PTAs find Greeting Exchange an exceptional way to foster community spirit and engagement, while also serving as a fruitful fundraising opportunity. It works seamlessly: the school or PTA electronically circulates a list of participants to the entire school community. Each participant then selects other members from this list to whom they wish to send their greetings or well-wishes, contributing a donation for each selection made.
The Greeting Exchange platform efficiently compiles these selections, creating personalized letters or greeting cards for each family, indicating who has chosen to send them wishes. It's common for organizations, including churches, to complement these heartfelt greetings with a thoughtful gift, such as a basket, enhancing the sense of community and generosity.
This initiative not only raises significant funds but also strengthens the bonds within the school and church communities, making every participant feel valued and connected.

What our customers are saying
Video tutorials and quick response customer support they provide are amazing. We are two years in and have had good fundraising results. I was equally impressed with their special offer to use the platform for free to give our members a touch when COVID 19 hit. Great company!

Abby TaylorGreeting Exchange is a project that is managed via a web-based service and is used by PTA, schools, churches and temples to run a unique fundraising project. Greeting Exchange fundraising projects are a great opportunity to raise funds while doing significant community building. The organization (e.g. church or school) sends a member list (electronically) to every member of the organization. Each member is asked to select other members from the list to whom they wish to send their wishes. The organization receives a donation for each member selected. The selections are captured by the program along with all other lists received from other members. The program compiles the lists and generates unique letters to each member family, indicating in the letter (greeting card) which families chose to send their wishes. Typically, the organization will prepare a gift basket, one for each family, to go along with the letters.
We load a list of members that you provide, directly into your dedicated website. After that, your appointed administrator of the project will setup the various options online, such as pricing and custom text for the letters. The setup will be done with Greeting Exchange Support assistance, over the phone and should take no more than 20 minutes. Families will be given access to the website via their unique username and password or through a link that can be sent via email. Once logged-in, selections and payments can be made online (if you choose to accept electronic payment). At the close-out date the administrator will print all the letters to accompany the gift baskets directly from the website.
If you don't have a fundraiser like this already then you should definitely consider it. Running a Greeting Exchange fundraiser is a great way for you to encourage interaction among families and raise funds at the same time. You'll find that Greeting Exchange is a perfect combination of a desired service for your members, and one that can raise funds for your organization.
