Digital Fundraising
#contactlessfundraising
Whatever's Convenient
QR codes can be put in any place, not just where physical currency is accepted. Everyone has the chance to donate!
Why Use qR codes to donate?
In Canada, many charities typically do digital fundraising via text-to-donate or through an app. While these methods work, they aren’t the most optimal. There’s usually a start-up cost, a monthly fee, or an app behind it. GCS has a solution to these challenges.
Our innovative QR code “scan to donate” program takes you to a customized website for your charity where it’s super easy for people to donate. Once activated, the QR code can be used anywhere and everywhere without any cost. It could be rolled out to in-store video screens across a chain of stores instantly!
