About ChariTouch
ChariTouch is a leading provider of donation kiosk solutions for churches, synagogues, nonprofits, and charitable organizations across the United States. Built to make generosity effortless, the platform blends intuitive hardware with smart software so supporters can give in seconds—no cash required. From Sunday services to community food drives, ChariTouch giving kiosks have helped raise millions for worthy causes by removing friction at the exact moment people feel moved to donate.
At the heart of the solution is a secure, PCI-compliant payment experience that supports tap, chip, and digital wallet methods. Donors can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major cards, allowing every act of generosity to be quick, safe, and contactless. The kiosk interface is intentionally simple: a clean, branded display, clear suggested amounts, optional recurring giving, and a transparent summary screen. This design lowers decision fatigue and increases conversion—especially for first-time donors.
For mission-driven teams, ChariTouch offers robust administrative tools. Campaign management enables organizations to create multiple causes (tithes, building funds, holiday drives) with custom imagery and storytelling. Real-time reporting provides immediate visibility into totals, average gift size, and busiest times of day or week, helping leaders adjust service announcements, signage, or volunteer engagement on the fly. Integrations with popular church management systems and CRM platforms streamline recordkeeping and donor acknowledgments, while automatic receipting reduces administrative overhead.
Accessibility and inclusivity are built in. Kiosks can support multiple languages, large text modes, and optional audio guidance for donors who prefer it. Thoughtful hardware design ensures comfortable use whether someone is seated, standing, or using a mobility aid. When paired with QR codes for mobile fallback, every supporter has a path to give, whether at an in-person gathering or during an outdoor event. Across campuses and community locations, ChariTouch keeps brand consistency intact—logos, colors, and messaging all align with the mission people know and love.
Nonprofits also depend on the system’s durability and uptime. ChariTouch devices are engineered for high-traffic environments and can be configured for wired or Wi‑Fi connectivity, with optional cellular failover. Remote monitoring and proactive maintenance help ensure “always-on” reliability—critical during major campaigns and seasonal peaks. With these capabilities, organizations spend less time troubleshooting and more time doing transformative work in their communities.
Transform Charitable Giving with Digital Donation Kiosks
Digital giving kiosks are changing the way people connect with causes. Rather than passing a plate or placing a box in the lobby, contactless giving brings modern convenience to the heart of generosity. Organizations using ChariTouch often see up to a 40% increase in donations by meeting donors where they are—on the go, without cash, and ready to engage in the moment. The combination of convenience, context, and clarity converts goodwill into action at the point of inspiration.
Three factors drive these results. First, frictionless payments reduce drop-off. Donors can complete a gift in under 30 seconds, which is pivotal during busy services or community events. Second, visual storytelling conveys impact: a current campaign image or brief message—“Provide 100 winter kits this week”—connects giving to outcomes. Third, suggested amounts and recurring options nudge donors toward consistent support, stabilizing revenue and enabling long-term planning.
Importantly, kiosks amplify—not replace—other channels. When aligned with text-to-give, web forms, and envelopes, they serve as a highly visible reminder that generosity is welcome and easy. A best practice is to place a kiosk near entrances, hospitality counters, or children’s check-in areas where traffic is heaviest. When a volunteer stands nearby to answer questions and share a quick impact story, conversions rise further. Organizations can also run “moment-of-need” campaigns during special weekends, relief efforts, or building projects, using the kiosk content to match the message from the stage.
Consider how churches and synagogues deploy ChariTouch during seasonal giving. A congregation may focus on a food pantry in November, then shift to benevolence funds in January when heating bills spike. Swapping campaigns on the kiosk takes minutes, allowing leaders to respond to community needs in real time. Meanwhile, nonprofit arts groups highlight ticket subsidies or education programs, and animal shelters spotlight urgent medical cases. Each cause benefits from a unified interface that feels native to the organization’s brand.
The broader ecosystem matters, too. Facility refreshes or community partnership programs can influence donor experience and foot traffic. Several groups pair outreach initiatives with simple physical improvements—clear signage, decluttered lobbies, better flow near the kiosk—to attract attention. For examples of community-forward initiatives with a home base concept, explore charihome as a lens on how operational improvements can support mission outcomes. When the physical environment is welcoming and choreographed, donors linger, learn, and give with greater confidence.
How Our Donation Kiosk System Works
Getting started with ChariTouch is designed to be fast and friendly—your charity kiosk can be up and running in days, not weeks. The rollout balances speed with a tailored experience so you’re never stuck with a one-size-fits-all configuration. From consultation to training, every step is orchestrated to maximize visibility, donor confidence, and results.
Schedule Consultation. The process begins with a focused discovery session. A donation kiosk specialist learns your organization’s structure, services, audience, and goals: Is the priority increased weekly giving, one-time capital campaigns, or seasonal drives? Are there multiple campuses or events? What payment methods do your donors prefer? The team then recommends the right form factor and mounting options—floor stand for lobbies, countertop for welcome centers, or portable units for pop-up events—along with connectivity and power plans that fit your building or venue layout.
Custom Configuration. The next step is branding and campaign setup. Your logo, colors, and imagery are applied to create a cohesive on-screen experience. Campaigns are built with clear descriptions, impact-driven language, and suggested amounts tailored to your donor base. If you use a church management system or CRM, integration settings are configured to ensure gifts are correctly categorized and donor records update automatically. Recurring options, tribute gifts, and opt-in fields for volunteer interest can be enabled as appropriate. Testing ensures on-screen flows are intuitive, fast, and error-free.
Professional Installation. Onsite delivery and setup place the kiosk where it will make the most difference. Strategic positioning matters: near entrances, coffee counters, or fellowship halls where people naturally pause. Technicians secure mounts, verify power and network stability, and fine-tune screen brightness for varying light conditions. They also confirm ADA-conscious height and clearance, ensure tamper resistance, and apply optional signage that explains how to give in one or two simple steps. If cellular backup is selected, failover is tested to keep contactless giving available even if Wi‑Fi wavers during high-attendance weekends.
Training & Support. Once the kiosk is live, your team receives practical training: how to start and end a day, switch campaigns, view dashboards, reconcile deposits, and answer frequent donor questions. Volunteers learn to assist without handling cards, reinforcing a safe and private experience. Post-launch, 24/7 support is available for troubleshooting, remote health checks, and software updates. Administrators see real-time metrics—gift counts, conversion rates, average gifts—so they can adjust messaging, amounts, and placement to optimize results. Over time, these insights shape a more resilient funding strategy that blends the ease of digital donations with your community’s unique rhythms.
Organizations find the full lifecycle seamless: consult, configure, install, and empower. For many churches and nonprofits, the first weekend with a ChariTouch kiosk proves the model, with immediate increases in participation from donors who rarely carry cash. Within weeks, teams often add a second unit for high-traffic events or satellite venues. Because the system centralizes data and branding, multi-site expansion remains consistent and manageable—every touchpoint aligns with the mission and tells the same story of impact.
Real-world examples illustrate how this process translates into measurable change. A midsize church introduced a kiosk to support a building refresh, and average weekly giving rose as families used tap-to-give after services. A synagogue deployed a portable unit for holiday events and saw a surge in one-time gifts, particularly from guests. A community nonprofit added recurring gift prompts to stabilize monthly revenue and then used dashboards to schedule campaign promotions during peak foot traffic. In each case, the combination of fast setup, intuitive design, and data-informed iteration transformed intent into sustained generosity—precisely the promise that modern giving technology exists to fulfill.
