The COVID-19 pandemic and now the cost of living crisis, has significantly impacted the operating and fundraising capabilities of charities worldwide. Donors and in general consumers who once favoured cash donations and direct debit options are demanding modern commerce experiences with alternative payment methods, they expect an omnichannel payment solution — they want frictionless payments that are consistent and fast, this needs to happen across every tap, swipe or scan no matter what technology it is powered by.
Charitable organisations and nonprofits often have low operating costs, making it crucial to manage overhead expenses carefully. Therefore, providing multiple payment methods can be challenging due to high implementation and ongoing costs.
The technology used to facilitate fundraising is crucial for both donors and staff/volunteers. When a nonprofit’s technology is outdated, staff and volunteers become less efficient and productive, and fundraising opportunities are restricted. Limited access to modern technology can also restrict a nonprofit’s ability to reach new audiences.
Organisations should invest in technology to enhance their operations and outreach. This includes platforms that automate the payment process and connect organisations with supporters around the globe. For charities and nonprofits who want to use tools that simplify the donation process for supporters, such as mobile applications, text message donations, and QR codes Booop can collaborate with you to provide a tailored solution.
