If you work for a government agency or non-profit organization, recent times have been busier than ever—and there’s still so much more to do. Deploy funds more efficiently with our convenient relief aid distribution solution, that empowers recipients with spending flexibility and freedom of choice. Let our dedicated onboarding team do the heavy lifting with your government or non-profit payments, so you can stay focused on your mission.

Get to know our support team


At Blackhawk Network, we’re dedicated to giving back to causes we care about. Year after year, our employees voluntarily raise funds for St. Baldrick’s Foundation, Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital and other non-profit organizations around the world. Groups also volunteer for local initiatives, such as Habitat for Humanity projects, Salvation Army Angel Trees gifts and more.

We’re passionate about helping your organization continue to make a difference with relief efforts. In fact, we've just launched our Giving GoodTM Prepaid Mastercard®, the reward that gives back. Consider adding your organization to the list of leading non-profits that receive donations when Giving Good Prepaid Cards are purchased.

Stop managing multiple vendors or buying prepaid cards at your local store. Let us help you streamline your relief fund disbursement process. With our help, you can save time and money—and spend more of both doing the good work that you do.
