“Research shows that overall, far fewer donors are using cash whilst more are giving using contact-free and digital methods, such as via a website or app, or by debit card”
Introducing a donor button on your website or social media pages can be a helpful addition, as well as adding links to email signatures and social media links. This approach can also help reinforce the message of your charitable work and status. There are a range of websites who can assist online giving, from auction websites and micro donations to text donations.
There are a number of fundraising and donor platforms available online for charities to use as a tool to generate income. Some of these websites are offered free of charge and others charge a fee or percentage of the money raised. It’s important to carry out some research into the best option for your organisation.
