As the Coronavirus outbreak began spreading across the tri-state area, my co-founder Noah and I opted to focus our attention and skills towards helping those stricken by the effects of the global pandemic. We created CardUP, a modern digital donation platform designed to augment the fundraising ability of non-profit organizations impacted by the economic implications of COVID-19. CardUP's software allows organizations to create a platform through which their donors can customize and purchase greeting cards and deliver them via our digital delivery network. CardUP offers organizations in needed of a self-sustainable revenue model for organizations whose offices were (and most remain) shuttered, resources limited, and income diminished, a solution.
 
Since our initial launch in March, CardUP has received national media attention on multiple outlets including USA TODAY, FOX 5's Good Day New York, PIX11 Morning News, and a variety of other local publications. Our customer base has expanded beyond US borders to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Israel as we continue to grow our impact on communities hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since our establishment our platform has processed thousands upon thousands of dollars in donations for our diversified non-profit customer base. Alongside Noah and I, were over thirty other high school volunteers who proudly joined CardUP's sales, product development, design, marketing and customer success teams. We at CardUP are working to not only ensure the well-being and financial stability of non-profit organizations, but the beneficiaries and individuals who rely on their invaluable support and services. We work around the clock to benefit our local community and make an impact in the success of non-profit organizations across the globe.
