GoodBox makes it easy for charities to incorporate technology into their fundraising process, allowing individuals the easy option of tapping to give

Recent research has shown that charities are working at a severe disadvantage in comparison to the corporate sector when it comes to using digital tools.

A tech company built to do good, GoodBox have developed a suit of contactless donation points designed to empower non-profit organisations to keep pace in a fast-moving, tech-driven world. Using powerful data analytics, charities are able to maximise their fundraising, allowing individuals to donate with just a few taps.

However, GoodBox provides custom-built devices, bespoke for the charity sector, boasting features such as the ability to Gift Aid contactless donations – the first contactless provider for charities to do so.

It is GoodBox’s mission to ensure that third sector companies aren’t held back by inefficient technology, but rather use it to the very best of its ability. It is their aim that when it comes to technology, charities should never have to settle.
