The fundraising landscape is changing, and to keep up, we need to adapt our strategies. One way to do that? Embrace new donation payment methods like QR codes and Tap to Pay, which are bridging the gap with younger donors in incredible ways. Let’s take a look at how these new methods are revolutionizing donor engagement.

Younger donors are all about convenience, and they’re not shy about using new tech to support their favorite causes. Using Tap to Pay and QR codes, nonprofits can craft seamless, interactive donation experiences that captivate younger donors and make giving easier than ever. A quick tap or scan, and they’re right where they need to be to contribute.
