Through this partnership, Orange County United Way will now receive a quarterly donation based on the purchases of their supporters.

"We are so grateful for new partnerships, especially ones with socially conscious missions, like Karma Wallet," said Susan B. Parks, President and CEO of Orange County United Way. "As an organization that focuses on improving lives for our neighbors in need, we believe in empowering people to do good—and the Karma Wallet Membership will do just that."

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Orange County United Way relies substantially on donations to support their efforts. Proceeds from the Karma Wallet Card will further fund their community-impact programs, which empower Orange County residents and address critical local issues such as ending homelessness, improving family financial security, ensuring students succeed, and connecting vulnerable residents to the health and human resource services they need. 2024 marks Orange County United Way's centennial, celebrating 100 years of impact in their community.
