It all started with a conversation. It was in late 2011 when Trent Allen (MD of Ziller) and Ravi Prasad (The Trees and the Forests Strategy Director) were sitting in a room workshopping a brand project. Somehow conversation turned to the charities they and their businesses supported – and that soon led to a discussion on corporate and personal philanthropy. Anyway, one thing led to another and soon enough Ravi and Trent were trying to figure out how to connect individuals and businesses with the not-for-profit sector though e-commerce.
And that’s how Ten Very Special Things happened.
The mission and purpose of Ten Very Special Things is to give people a way of turning something special that they own into a donation to their favourite cause and to give business a way of turning their products and services into a contribution to their charity of choice.

What's a CCV?
CCV stands for Credit Card Validation (or Verification) Value. The CCV is a 3 or 4 digit code usually embossed or imprinted on the reverse side of your credit card. This is an extra security measure to ensure that you have access or physical possession of the credit card itself in order to use the CCV code. For details on where to find your CCV code, please see the image below.
