I belong to 501(c)3 that distributes charity to needy families. We are researching the possibility of giving out Prepaid Gift Cards/debit Cards instead of checks or Cash.
The reason's for this are:
To have the ability to control what the spending is on. For example if a family applies for assistance for certain medical expenses we would transfer funds to the card and if necessary actually use the card number to pay the medical expense. So Basically the Card/account belongs to the family but we have authorized access to it-to login and see what was spent and sometimes to make actually purchases on behalf of the recipient.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what card would be appropriate?
