A Problem…
One nearly unavoidable situation with retail gift cards is that after a purchase is made for an item that is less than the face value of the gift-card, there is often a remaining balance.
Whether this balance is small or substantial, quite often this becomes simply lost money to a consumer.
An Opportunity…

A Vision…
An established non-profit organization, the vision of Change the Balance is to help capture these abandoned gift card balances and channel them to charitable causes at unparalleled levels.
