These challenges do more than just create inconveniences—they reduce the total contributions. Donors today expect easy, fast, and secure ways to give. If donation methods are slow or complicated, they might hesitate or abandon the process altogether, resulting in lost opportunities for vital funding. Moreover, organizations face security risks if they don’t have proper encryption and secure payment gateways, leading to a potential loss of trust from donors. Volunteers, who are crucial to collecting in-person donations, often find themselves restricted by the need for extra equipment like card readers, further limiting the ability to collect donations spontaneously and flexibly.
