Mission Description	TisBest is fueling a movement to replace gifts of "stuff" with gifts of "good" that meaningfully connect individuals to important philanthropic causes. The engine of this mission is the TisBest Charity Gift Card, which works like a conventional gift card with one important distinction: the recipient spends this card by selecting a charity to support with the money on the card.

Description	TisBest Philanthropy has diverted hundreds of thousands of gift dollars from being spent on "stuff" to being spent on charities chosen by gift recipients. TisBest provides funds to over 250 charities throughout the United States. TisBest Charity Gift Cards are used by thousands of people to replace "stuff" when making gifts of all sorts, including holiday gifts, birthday gifts, mitzvah gifts, professional gifts, B2B gifts, conference gifts, recruiting gifts and many others. TisBest empowers all those gift givers to use their dollars for good, rather than more stuff. During fiscal year 2013, 4,069 separate orders were placed for TisBest Charity Gift Cards for a total of 24,097 cards representing $1,076,980 in charitable giving.	Description
