Case Study: Distinctive Schools boosts engagement and gratitude with Giftbit

How Distinctive Schools rewards everyone on their list

Distinctive Schools, a Chicago-based nonprofit supporting charter schools serving traditionally underserved students, needed a simple way to keep remote teachers, staff, families, and students engaged during the pandemic while also helping families in financial distress. They turned to Giftbit and its digital gift card and prepaid card platform to send support quickly and to recognize people with timely, flexible rewards.

With Giftbit, Distinctive Schools began using digital rewards for everything from parent assistance and staff incentives to student ambassador thank-yous, recruitment referrals, birthdays, and emergency donations. The result was a more effortless way to show gratitude and provide resources, and the program became so valuable that rewards and incentives were built into the organization’s budget and SOPs.
