Gifter connects excess and abandoned gift cards to teachers and school who desperately need money to buy basic supplies for their students. Use the $8 billion each year left on gift cards for something that can be used immediately, our children's education.

Hear you on the opportunity of using cards that otherwise go unused. See challenges in traction given competition.

I've got a special place in my heart for anything doing good in the world - please run with this service.

i love the idea but i worry about security. how do you prevent a small number of teachers from grabbing all the money?

Potentially very impactful, but don't see how people find out about this and actually go through the steps to upload their cards. There needs to be a stronger incentive than pure altruism.

Nice idea, and I like the simplicity of just taking a picture of the card. Needs some more polish around the match-making and authorization, but it's a solid idea.

Can you actually redeem those cards?

I think trying to qualify legit teachers can be very difficult.
