Online Donations Become Easier with Mobile Applications

Online donations just keep getting easier thanks to Artez Interactive. A leading North American provider of fundraising platforms, Artez has launched a new mobile iPhone application that supports online fundraising. Working with its charitable partners, Artez has raised over 500 million dollars over the past 10 years through the digital revolution. The new app will soon be offered to various organization, allowing them to customize it for their own fundraising efforts.

Online Donations Will Happen “Anywhere and Everywhere”

According to Artez’s Chairman, James Appleyard, “The move to mobile will now allow consumers to make online donations anywhere and everywhere.  It takes the entire web fundraising experience and puts it in your hand.”

Such freedom for donors can be crucial when disaster organizations require individuals to respond to worldwide disasters such as the recent floods in Pakistan or the Haiti earthquake.

Working with their charitable partners, Artez will provide tailor-make apps for various websites and organizations, allowing partners to benefit from customized branding, and for donors to donate online while on the go. In addition, Appleyard believes that its new app will allow organizations to respond more effectively and efficiently to disasters, even within 72 hours – the most effective time to successfully solicit community members for donations.

The application will be unveiled at a digital conference this week and should be available to charitable organizations within the next few weeks. PayPal has also worked closely with Artez in the development of the application and to ensure personal security.

Creating mobile applications to make helping poor people easier is a natural evolution of the smartphone and converging technologies. Online donations are the life-blood charitable organizations such as Microgiving, and we invite you to search our website and consider making a donation yourself to one of our community members in need.
