The Charity Charge is a credit card platform put together by MasterCard to make donating an everyday initiative that allows users to donate to their favorite non-profit organizations through cash-back collected every time they spend. 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. 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.
