<\/a>Mobile Giving & Year-End Fundraising<\/h2>\n

Mobile giving includes a variety of ways to donate, but the purpose behind all mobile giving tools is to make it easier for donors to support your mission. It\u2019s a common complaint that Millennials and Gen Z use their smartphones for everything. Your nonprofit can use this to your advantage.<\/p>\n

Mobile giving means your supporters can donate when they feel most connected to your organization and when your mission is at the top of their minds. Year-end events, church services, and eye-catching annual appeals and flyers are excellent ways to reach a new audience and tug at the heartstrings of your current donor base. Mobile giving makes it easy to solicit donations from supporters when you have their attention this giving season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mobile giving can also make it easier for people to support you. Everyone seems to have a smartphone and credit card, but hardly anyone carries cash. If your year-end donation appeals and events include ways for people to link to your donation page or form and give in only a few minutes, you will see an increase in donations.<\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> Did you know only 33%<\/a> of nonprofits include Apple Pay on their donation form? Only 24% include Google Pay. If you want to increase donations from younger supporters, adding Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, and PayPal to your donation form will give you an immediate return on your investment. With Donorbox\u2019s UltraSwift\u2122 Pay<\/a>, your donors can enjoy a super-fast checkout experience using their preferred payment method.<\/p>\n
