Digital Greetings Platform Announces the Launch of 2025 Charity eCards

Herefordshire based charity digital greetings card platform Hope Spring eCards, announced the release of the first batch of its charity christmas ecards for 2025 on Monday, the 3rd of November.

In a statement published on the organisation’s website, Hope Spring revealed the launch of more than fifty new charity Christmas eCards across a range of categories, including religious, nativity, Welsh, and Scottish themes.

Each year, millions of traditional greeting cards and eCards are sent to friends, family, and colleagues during the festive period. Hope Spring, along with other charities, uses this seasonal tradition as a key fundraising opportunity. 

The public and charity supporters are encouraged to send Christmas cards from their preferred charity platforms, helping to raise vital funds for good causes.

Hope Spring has been using its eCard platform to raise funds for clean water and poverty alleviation projects for more than four years. While it offers birthday and other occasion eCards year-round, Christmas remains its busiest period, with thousands of supporters visiting the website to send festive greetings.

According to platform manager Seun Olonade, the charity recently expanded its Christmas collection significantly. “We usually create a few dozen new Christmas cards each year,” she told That's Christmas 365.

“But this year, we wanted to offer our supporters a wider choice. Our volunteers began working on a new range of designs earlier in the year, and as a result, we have added around one hundred new Christmas eCards.”

Hope Spring’s creative process often draws on input from volunteers, supporters, and partner designers. The new collection includes traditional illustrations alongside modern, animated, and video-based designs.

According to Olonade, this mix reflects changing preferences among eCard users, who increasingly favour visually engaging and mobile-friendly formats that can be shared by email or messaging apps such as WhatsApp.

In previous years, animated and video Christmas cards have been among the most popular choices on the Hope Spring platform, followed closely by funny Christmas eCards that can be shared by email or via WhatsApp. The charity also operates a dedicated section for small businesses that wish to send Christmas eCards to staff and customers.

In addition to its fundraising efforts, Hope Spring uses its platform to promote awareness of environmental sustainability. By encouraging the public to choose eCards instead of paper cards, the charity highlights the positive impact of reducing paper waste and carbon emissions during the festive period.

The full range of 2025 Christmas eCards from Hope Spring can be viewed on the organisation’s website. Further information about the charity and its work can be found on its social media pages.

Hope Spring released Mother’s Day Charity eCards with Motion Graphics

Hereford water poverty alleviation charity, Hope Spring recently announced the release of its Mother’s Day charity digital greeting cards for 2025. 

The organisation, famed for its innovative approach to fundraising via dedicated eCards, has significantly increased the number of Mother’s Day eCards available this year, with over thirty new designs now live on its platform.

In a recent blog post, Hope Spring highlighted the expansion, marking a notable increase from previous years, when the platform typically released around a dozen new eCards for Mothering Sunday. 

This year’s collection features a broader range of styles, including animated motion graphics eCards and a culturally significant Yoruba-language card, which is another first for the charity.

Speaking on the expansion, Seun Olonade, Hope Spring eCard platform manager, expressed enthusiasm about the growth of the initiative.

“We are very happy with the significant increase in the number and diversity of our Mother’s Day eCards this year. So far, we have created and uploaded over thirty designs, and we are still hopeful that more eCards will be added before Mothering Sunday on March 30,” said Olonade.

The expansion reflects the organisation's continuing commitment to providing supporters with meaningful, creative ways to celebrate their loved ones whilst also contributing to a vital cause. The growing collection ensures users can choose from a wider variety of styles and themes, including traditional floral designs, heartfelt messages, and contemporary digital art creations.

The increase in eCard designs was made possible through a recent partnership between Hope Spring and Odurinde.com, a leading online training platform that provides students with a range of technical and professional skills. Through this collaboration, students from Odurinde.com’s UI/UX design Programme, volunteered their time and expertise to create visually engaging and interactive digital greeting cards for the charity’s platform.

This partnership has also enabled Hope Spring to introduce motion graphics eCards, a feature making its debut on the platform for this year. 

The addition of animated greeting cards reflects a broader trend in digital communication, where interactive and visually dynamic content is becoming increasingly popular.

“Having motion graphics eCards for the first time is a significant milestone for us,” Olonade added. “We are seeing a growing interest in digital cards that go beyond static images, and this is a great step forward in improving the experience for our users.”

Another first for the Hope Spring eCard platform is the inclusion of a Yoruba-language Mother’s Day eCard, catering to the diverse cultural backgrounds of its supporters. This addition reflects the organization’s efforts to create more inclusive and culturally relevant designs that resonate with different audiences.

Beyond the aesthetic and technological advancements, the initiative serves a crucial purpose, raising funds to support Hope Spring’s mission of alleviating water poverty in communities that lack access to clean water.

Donations made via the eCard platform contribute directly to funding boreholes, well-digging projects, and water sanitation initiatives in underserved areas. The charity has successfully implemented numerous clean water projects across Africa, helping to provide safe drinking water to those in need.

With digital giving becoming more popular, the Hope Spring eCards platform allows donors to send thoughtful greetings to their loved ones while making a tangible difference in people’s lives.

Hope Spring’s commitment to innovation in digital fundraising continues to evolve, offering supporters new and creative ways to contribute to a vital cause while celebrating their loved ones. The 2025 Mother’s Day eCard collection is now available on the Hope Spring eCards website, with additional designs expected to be released in the coming weeks.
