Abstract: The mention relates to a new method and system for enabling three-party charitable gift giving. A host operates a central server, such as a web site, and potentially other support services, such as telephonic support. A gift giver visits the host web site and selects a donation amount and a gift recipient. The host then transmits the charitable gift to the gift recipient, along with a unique code which enables the gift recipient to redeem the charitable gift. The gift recipient then visits the host web site, selects a charity from a list of available options, and the gift is sent to the selected donee charity by the host.
