Minted’s Fundraising Program

November 25, 2022

**Website: https://www.minted.com/holiday

**Code: FUNDRAISECARNATION

 

 

Holiday cards and photo gifts are always on people’s minds this time of year! We have partnered with Minted to offer everyone who uses our code FUNDRAISECARNATION a 20% discount, and every purchase made with this code generates a 15% discount back to your CEPTSA.

 

 

Not only are they offering this code to us permanently (think all your purchases all year long!) but they are committed to inclusion by opening their marketplace to all artists and to sustainability with nearly all recyclable packaging.

 

 

 

They go above and beyond in quality! We love Minted and their mission, and hope that you will too!
