Contactless fundraising
This page is free to all
What is it?
Sometimes referred to as ‘contactless donations’, contactless fundraising is the digital equivalent to a donation box. Instead of a box to collect coins, you can have a device that takes contactless card payments instead.
Good reasons to try contactless fundraising
- You’ve noticed that fewer people are carrying cash and loose change with them and this is affecting the money you raise from collections
- You have budget to spend on purchasing the machines to collect the contactless payments
- You have a location or events where you could easily encourage people to make on the spot small donations
Key advice
- Think about where you can use these devices to get the best use out of them.
- Research or test with the people you want to donate. Are they comfortable with contactless payments yet?
- Check the deal the device provider offers carefully. How much of the donation is taken buy them?
