[US] Digital rewards provider Tango facilitates $10 million in non-profit donations

On May 2, US rewards and payments company Tango reached a key milestone. More than $10 million in donations for non-profit organisations have been facilitated through its platform.

Tango works with companies that use rewards, incentives, and payments to drive business results in employee recognition, team engagement, client acquisition, customer loyalty, incentivised research and other areas. Once Tango’s customers seamlessly connect with Tango, they gain access to more than 1,000 digital merchant gift cards, prepaid cards and charitable donation choices. 

In a number of programmes, the recipient of the reward or payment reportedly has the option to donate a portion or all of what they receive to one of Tango’s non-profit partners. These include the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Clean Water Fund, Special Olympics and Habitat for Humanity among many others.

“When we created the Rewards as a Service (RaaS®) category in 2010, we had a vision to ensure that reward, incentive, and payment recipients would get the maximum utility from the value they received. Sometimes, this would mean getting a gift card for their favorite restaurant or a prepaid card to use wherever they want. However, we also believed that the recipient may be most excited to give to a non-profit with a mission near and dear to their hearts,” David Leeds - CEO and founder of Tango - said.

“We've seen almost every other company in the rewards and incentives space follow our lead here. This is incredibly positive, and most importantly, the biggest beneficiaries are the non-profits we have partnered with. On behalf of these partners and Tango, I want to thank reward and payment recipients for making more than $10M in contributions. This is a huge milestone!”

Tango now supports customers operating in more than 80 countries. The company has been a pioneer in taking the industry into the digital age, provided material innovation around non-profits and now leads the industry as it becomes increasingly global.
