Abstract: Systems and methods enable the provision, management and use of a monetary card for making donations. A processor may cause information associated with donation parameters to be stored on a monetary card. The card may be given as a gift to a recipient. The recipient may use the card to make a donation to a donation recipient. The donation may be made by way of any suitable method or configuration. In one example scenario, the donation is made by the card recipient using a web-based communication system to specify one or more values associated with the donation parameters. For example, the card recipient may use the card to access an account or record and may select a donation recipient from among a list of available donation recipients and may also specify an amount to be donated. The donation may be linked to a separate financial account which may be held, for instance, by the purchaser of the card.
