About ChariTouch
ChariTouch is a leading provider of donation kiosk solutions for churches, synagogues, nonprofits, and charitable organizations across the USA. Built to remove friction from modern giving, these kiosks combine elegant hardware with intuitive software so donors can contribute in seconds—no cash, no complicated forms, no barriers. By meeting supporters where they are, in-person and on the go, ChariTouch has helped raise millions for worthy causes and made generosity simpler, safer, and more consistent.
Traditional giving methods haven’t disappeared, but they have changed. More donors carry cards than cash, and many prefer contactless payments. A giving kiosk transforms occasional intent into immediate action, whether at the church entrance, a synagogue’s community hall, a nonprofit’s event, or a university fundraiser. With features like tap-to-pay, card insert, QR codes, and digital receipts, the experience is familiar yet inspiring. Donors can select a campaign, choose or enter an amount, and complete the gift in under a minute.
The platform is designed for mission alignment. Custom branding, messaging, and campaign routing help ensure every interaction reinforces your values and vision. Larger organizations can segment funds for general needs, building projects, youth programs, or emergency relief. Smaller groups can set up a single central fund and still showcase impact with rotating images, videos, or affirmations of gratitude that motivate repeat giving.
ChariTouch emphasizes both convenience and integrity. Transactions are processed through PCI-compliant gateways, configurable permissions protect donor data, and export-ready reporting integrates with leading donor-management and accounting systems. For leaders, that means cleaner books, faster reconciliation, and better forecasting. For donors, it means trust.
Equally important is the human side. Volunteers and staff receive simple tools to manage campaigns and view performance at a glance. If a kiosk needs supplies or a payment device refresh, real-time alerts help teams act before any disruption occurs. And because community spaces vary widely—from historic sanctuaries to bustling multipurpose centers—hardware options accommodate different layouts, ensuring that the donation kiosk fits naturally wherever people gather.
Organizations seeking a companion digital experience can explore charihome, which supports centralized management, content updates, and donor engagement beyond the physical kiosk. Together, these solutions create a seamless ecosystem that unites on-site inspiration with always-on digital readiness.
Transform Charitable Giving with Digital Donation Kiosks
Digital giving kiosk solutions can increase donations by up to 40% because they streamline the moment of generosity. When someone feels moved to give, a kiosk positioned at a natural pause—entrances, lobbies, fellowship halls, or event exits—turns intention into action. Contactless support invites spontaneous gifts from people who rarely carry cash, while card and QR options ensure nobody is left out. In aggregate, these micro-optimizations create a significant lift in participation and total funding.
The psychology is simple: remove friction, and participation rises. Suggested gift tiers remove guesswork but still allow custom amounts. Narrative prompts—“Support youth mentorship,” “Keep the pantry stocked,” “Fund the roof repair”—connect the act of giving to tangible outcomes. Even subtle enhancements, like a thank-you message or the option to dedicate a gift in honor of a loved one, deepen engagement and encourage repeat giving.
Real-world examples illustrate how this plays out. A midsize church in Texas reported a 42% increase in weekly giving after installing kiosks at two key locations: one near the main sanctuary doors and another by the children’s check-in. A synagogue in the Midwest used the system to raise funds for security enhancements, designing a three-week campaign with clear progress indicators—and surpassed the goal by day twelve. A community food bank deployed portable kiosks at pop-up events and saw a surge in first-time donors who appreciated the fast, familiar checkout experience.
Beyond revenue growth, the data is invaluable. Administrators gain visibility into peak giving times, which campaigns resonate, and how seasonal events affect donor behavior. These insights guide smarter communications and better resource allocations. Kiosks also strengthen inclusivity, serving multilingual communities and supporting accessibility features that welcome donors of all ages and abilities. For organizations with hybrid gatherings, QR codes on screens and literature link seamlessly to the same campaigns, creating continuity between in-person and online giving.
Security and stewardship are foundational. ChariTouch leverages encrypted processing, audited workflows, and role-based access to protect donor information. Staff training ensures consistent use, while remote monitoring keeps kiosks operating smoothly. When communities trust the process and see the impact, generosity grows—and that’s how a modern, mission-driven giving culture takes root.
How Our Donation Kiosk System Works
Get your charity kiosk up and running in days, not weeks. The process is straightforward, guided by specialists who understand the unique rhythms of churches, synagogues, and nonprofit operations. Every step is designed to minimize disruption while maximizing results, so teams can focus on mission rather than technology.
Schedule Consultation: A short discovery session identifies your goals, audience, and environment. Donation kiosk experts analyze foot traffic patterns, peak program times, and campaign priorities. They recommend the ideal hardware footprint—countertop, freestanding, or portable—and the right mix of payment methods for your community. Reporting needs, reconciliation preferences, and security protocols are also defined upfront.
Custom Configuration: The team configures your giving kiosk with branding, messaging, and campaign options aligned to your mission. Suggested amounts, recurring gift prompts, and fund routing are set to match your internal accounting structure. Visual assets, seasonal campaigns, and multi-language prompts can be added to create a welcoming, inclusive experience. Whether you’re launching a capital appeal or sustaining ongoing programs, the interface guides donors with clarity and warmth.
Professional Installation: Specialists deliver and set up the donation terminal in high-visibility locations, calibrating screen angles, testing power and connectivity, and verifying payment flows. They ensure signage is clear and that line-of-sight placement complements natural traffic. For organizations with multiple sites, standardized deployments keep everything consistent. Events teams get portable options with long battery life and secure stands, enabling pop-up generosity wherever people gather.
Training & Support: Staff and volunteers receive hands-on training for daily operation, campaign updates, and basic troubleshooting. Ongoing 24/7 support stands ready for anything from software questions to hardware replacements. Real-time monitoring flags issues before they affect donors, and periodic check-ins ensure you’re on track to hit (or exceed) fundraising goals. As needs evolve—holiday drives, relief efforts, or annual pledges—the kiosk adapts quickly, keeping momentum high all year.
Organizations often supplement on-site giving with digital engagement. A centralized portal—akin to ChariTouch’s extended ecosystem—can coordinate campaigns across locations, empower leaders with roll-up reporting, and automate acknowledgments. For teams that want to keep messaging fresh, scheduled content updates align with the calendar—High Holy Days, Easter, Ramadan-aligned initiatives, graduation season, and year-end appeals—so the kiosk always reflects what matters most right now. With this framework in place, leaders spend less time chasing logistics and more time cultivating the relationships that sustain their mission.
