Maximum good. Minimum effort. Makes good sense.
The Problem.
The age-old method of rattling buckets on the street corner to collect donations is failing to get charities the contributions they need. No-one carries cash any more and people are increasingly time-poor.
While many charities may be painfully aware of the decline in donations, there are too many barriers standing in the way of taking their model online. The technology and cost required to take online payments only eats into this funding gap further. On top of this, engaging people online in the same way that traditional charity campaigns have done, is no small task.
