NFPs / NGOs / Making a Difference
The easy way to give back
VANVOUVER, BC, Mar. 22, 2004 (Village Vibes) - Currently, about 8.5 million Canadians carry an Hbc Rewards card in their wallet (valid at the Bay, Zellers, Home Outfitters). The option of donating reward points began about 10 years ago - making the Hudson Bay Company one of the first companies to offer any type of points donation program. Diane Gordon, director of community investment for HBC says that, "back in our Club Z days, we came up with the idea. We were looking for a way to raise money and help support the Canadian Red Cross because of a disaster that was in the news." The next step involved figuring out the logistics of programming their computer systems to allow cardholders to donate points. http://www.charityvillage.com/cv/news/cover.asp.
