Contactless Fundraising for Museums and Tourist Attractions

Museums and visitor attractions can use contactless card donation machines to raise much needed funds on a daily basis and at special events. Dona’s free donation webpages also provide organisations with a seamless way to collect donations online. 

With fewer people carrying cash, it’s important that tourist attractions have a Digital Donation Machine option in place to give their visitors an easy way to donate.

Find out more about how our contactless donation terminals can help maximise your organisation’s fundraising. Contact us today.

The best place to position card donation machines at your attraction

Most attractions benefit from donation machines being placed at entrances and exits, so that visitors and members of the public can give generously as they enter and leave the building, event or space.

Placing additional machines near important artefacts, popular attractions or at the centrepiece highlight of a tour can also inspire visitors to give generously.  

An added benefit is that charitable organisations are able to customise their donation machines to highlight up to 20 different campaigns for the donor to choose from, inspiring visitor engagement with various fundraising goals and ensuring donors know where their gift is going.

Gurkha Museum switch to Dona

“Unlike our previous provider, Dona’s machines also allow us to accept offline donations when we have had trouble with our internet connection in the museum.

Overall the service from Dona has been friendly, fast, and reliable from start to finish. We’re incredibly pleased with the machines and the positive difference they’ve made for our museum.”

The Gurkha Museum serves as a vital bridge, connecting the past with the present and ensuring that the extraordinary legacy of the Gurkha soldier continues to inspire.
