Company Overview

Our Story

Gifts for Good was founded by Laura Hertz with one conviction: every business gift is a choice, and a well-made choice can do more than say thank you. It can support a family's livelihood, plant a forest, fund a child's education, or provide clean water to an entire community. Hertz launched the company to prove that premium gifting and genuine social impact are not in conflict — they're better together.

The Gifts for Good marketplace sources products exclusively from over 80 nonprofits and social enterprises. Every item on the platform gives back. The company's founding story was featured on NBC's TODAY Show, and what began as a marketplace has grown into a full-service corporate gifting operation trusted by more than 1,000 enterprise organizations worldwide.

Today, Gifts for Good serves HR leaders, procurement teams, ESG champions, marketing managers, and executive assistants at mid-market and enterprise companies — helping them run gifting programs that are premium in quality, purposeful in impact, and measurable in outcomes.

Certifications & Trust Signals

What Makes Gifts for Good Different

• Every gift gives back, by design All products are sourced from 80+ nonprofits and social enterprises. This isn't a CSR add-on — it's the foundation of how the marketplace is built. Every purchase creates a measurable ripple.
• Verified impact measurement & reporting Per-gift, per-campaign impact metrics with auditable data from verified cause partners. When a client sends 500 gifts through GIFTforward, the impact report shows exactly how many trees were planted, meals funded, hours of employment created, and weeks of clean water provided.
