We live in the age of awareness – a new era when both companies and consumers are highly conscious of the ailments of the world around us. It seems that everyone has a cause they care for deeply. And many of us are seeking new and innovative ways to balance the vital needs of local and global charities, with the realities of local economies.

The VivaFundraiser Debit Card is a new kind of funding mechanism that pays you and your favorite charities from the normal fees charged that traditionally go to the giant processors and the big banking conglomerates that rarely support causes.

Each month you shop using the VivaFundraiser Debit Card, you will be sending valuable donations to charities and non-profits all over the world. We are entrepreneurs who believe that with the right tools everyone can make a difference. Now the VivaFundraiser Cash Card allows socially-conscious consumers to help organizations they care about.

Research indicates that consumers strongly believe they can make a real difference, and are willing to change consumption and spending habits to do so:

“85% of consumers are willing to change brands of their consumption habits to make tomorrow’s world a better place. 88% of consumers surveyed feel it is their duty to contribute to a better society and environment, and 83% say that they personally can make a difference.” Nov 2007 Edelman
