 \n\nGift sending is a social behavior to transfer goods or services volunt
 arily. A charitable gift card is a novel fundraising instrument that can b
 e purchased by a gift sender and sent to a gift recipient to support chari
 table projects on the crowdfunding platform issuing the gift card. We expl
 ore the impact of sending or receiving a charitable gift card using donati
 on data from 277\,358 gift card senders and 31\,194 gift card recipients s
 ix months before and after they sent or received charitable gift cards. We
  account for the endogenous event of sending or receiving a charitable gif
 t card using a network-based instrumental variable\; we adopt both two-sta
 ge least squares and double machine learning estimation strategies. We fin
 d that gift senders reduced their own giving after sending a charitable gi
 ft\, except when the gift senders sent a low-valued gift card to a donor e
 xperienced with the platform. More in-depth investigation shows this effec
 t is because of the unintended social comparison activated by the gift-sen
 ding behavior. We also find that gift recipients experienced with the plat
 form reduced their own giving after receiving and spending the charitable 
 gift card. However\, gift recipients who have no experience with this plat
 form would donate more if they were given a higher-valued gift card to joi
 n the platform. Finally\, we find that charitable gift card sending unexpe
 ctedly activated social comparisons\, where users reduced their own giving
  when they donated more than the other party historically (downward social
  comparison) and increased their own giving when they donated less (upward
  social comparison). Moreover\, the upward social comparison is found to b
 e stronger for charitable gift card senders\, and the downward social comp
 arison is more salient for charitable gift card recipients. These findings
  make unique contributions to the literature by underscoring the potential
 ly negative consequence of using charitable gift cards.\n
