The National Business Alliance for Education (NBA-E) was formed specifically to take advantage of a unique idea. It is a company that is strategically placed to provide you with the most complete fundraising opportunity that has ever been planned. Originally developed solely for schools, Gift Cards for Kids has been expanded to include other youth groups.

A quick online search reveals that there are hundreds – if not thousands – of companies currently promoting the sale of their own gift cards. There are charities that have made efforts to collect gift cards, then redeem them to benefit those they represent. However, the fact is no one has been able to successfully collect enough gift cards to make bulk gift card redemption economically viable. The Challenge is how to effectively and efficiently collect gift cards – a seemly complicated and labor-intensive task.

As CEO of Solomon Group, NBA-E Chief Executive Officer Garrett Wilson, learned to look beyond the norm and seek a simple solution to complicated problems. Once he became intrigued with this uncollected asset – Gift Cards – he began to research various means of collection.

While building the business model for what will become the most successful fund collection process in history he had the opportunity to discuss the project with many successful CEO’s, company presidents and legal minds. As he reviewed the legal aspects of the business, a prominent patent attorney suggested that the NBA-E collection and conversion mechanism was so unique that it would be patentable as a business process. A process patent was applied for, with several more added since that first patent was written.

What this means to those wishing to use our program is the simple fact that NBA-E found the answer and worked out all the details of the process. NBA-E is the only company that has the right to offer this program to those who wish to raise money in a new and unique way. No other company in the country can offer what NBA-E offers – access to approximately $8 billion in unused and uncollected funds annually.
