Greenwise Bankcard and National Wildlife Federation

Greenwise Bankcard, LLC (GWBC) of Fort Lauderdale, FL and the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) of announced today its strategic cause-related point of sale fundraising agreement.

The NWF inspire families to “open the door and get outside” for a daily dose of the outdoors and to develop a stronger appreciation and respond for wildlife and nature. “It is so devastating to see what has happened in the Gulf and Greenwise is helping us expand our awareness at the point of sale”, explains Evelyn Furia Senior Manager, Corporate Relations & Special Events for the NWF.

The DonateWiseNow Program brings consumers and wildlife together like never before. “We hope to be an integral part of the NWF in safeguarding our wildlife and nature by raising donations every time a credit or debit is used to make a purchase at one of our participating merchant locations”, states Terri Melle-Johnson, VP Business Development at Greenwise. ‘We believe that it is important all across America to educate all generations about giving. DonateWiseNow allows merchants nationwide to be able to part of putting the spirit back into
giving”.

As funding for many charitable organizations has been severally reduced, the Greenwise alternative point of sale fundraising can help bridge their financial needs and gain more community support for their cause. Greenwise Bankcard merchants may participate in electronic point of sale fundraising for national and regional branded charitable organizations such as American Heart Association, Child Rescue Network, Kids in Distress Foundation, and National Childhood Obesity Foundation.

• Donate Wise Now® offers cardholders (making a credit or debit card purchase) the option to donate at the point of sale to select nonprofit organizations registered with Greenwise.
• Donate Wise Now® alleviates “donor frustration” allowing the participating merchant to change the charity offered to cardholders at any time. For example, a merchant can elect to raise funds on behalf of the American Heart Association as the charity one month and then switch to a different registered charity the next month.

Through the Greenwise merchant service, patent pending, DonateWiseNow® program participating merchants now will be able to “prompt” their customers to discretely donate $1 to the NWF and opt-in to a paperless receipt at the same time. Being green now means that customers can elect to not take a printed receipt but rather have their receipt accessible in an online, secure repository at www.planetreceipt.com.
