The card is offered through CommerceBank and it allows a cash-back refund that is reserved exclusively for helping out schools, institutions and other organizations. The card is designed so that each purchase redeems 1% cash-back that consumers can then utilize to [donate to charities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giving-integration). The cash-back collects no interest or fees meaning that the full amount is donated to charities. The Charity Charge helps to make donating a more seamless and effortless gesture, allowing consumers to do in a way that is pre-automated for simplicity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/charity) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cash-back Donations:** Creating credit card platforms that enable users to donate to charities through cash-back rewards, making donating an everyday initiative. - **Seamless Donations:** Designing credit cards that automate the donation process, making it effortless for consumers to contribute to non-profit organizations. - **Pre-automated Giving:** Developing credit cards that automatically donate a portion of each purchase to charities, simplifying the process for consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Financial Services:** Opportunities for banks and credit card issuers to incorporate cash-back donation features into their credit card products, promoting charitable giving. - **Non-profit Organizations:** Potential partnerships with credit card companies to offer co-branded cards that directly contribute a percentage of every purchase to specific non-profit organizations. - **Technology:** Developing innovative payment platforms or apps that allow users to automatically donate a percentage of their transactions to charities of their choice. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Delivery App Credit Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doordash-rewards-mastercard.md) - [Grocery App Credit Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instacart-mastercard.md) - [Charity-Focused Payment Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-profiles.md) - [Wellness-Centric Credit Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elite-mastercard.md) - [Eco-Friendly Credit Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rei-coop-mastercard.md) - [Restaurant-Branded Food Charities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giving-card.md) - [eCommerce Credit Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shopify-credit.md) - [Charitable Shopping Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-freely.md) - [Charity Donation Discovery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charityexplorer.md)
