Every donated gift card moves through the same path — catalogued at intake, routed to a vetted community partner, handed to a person in their care, and confirmed by partner reporting. The figures below estimate what that path looks like in concrete terms. They are placeholder values that will be replaced with real numbers once GiftLift begins receiving donations.
Estimated nights of supporting supplies a $50 gift card provides to a shelter resident, based on modeled partner allocations.
Target number of vetted shelters, case managers, and reentry programs receiving routed cards each quarter.
Estimated grocery-card meal equivalents provided to a household by a $25 grocery gift card, post-redemption.
Target percentage of distributed cards confirmed by partner reporting — the figure that anchors our annual reporting.

The numbers above are modeling. The impact is real only when gift cards arrive. If your company — or you — has a gift card sitting in a drawer, route it to someone who can use it today.
