Using Dona's digital collection plates has significantly boosted our fundraising efforts at The Gurkha Museum. In a time when we were seeing fewer people carry cash, these machines have allowed us to capture donations that we would have otherwise missed. The Gift Aid functionality has been invaluable, enabling us to collect Gift Aid on eligible donations, further increasing the impact of each contribution. 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."

Fundraising Co-ordinator

The Gurkha Museum

“We have been a charity since 1933 and a lot of the donations that we have received over those years have been cash donations. We decided it’s about time we moved into the 21st Century and moved most of our donations onto either an online portal or a digital donation point. We shopped around with loads and loads of different providers, tried a couple out and decided that actually Dona was a really, really excellent solution.”

Head of Fundraising

Guild Care

“Using Dona's donation terminals has helped us raise over £200,000 in the last four years! The Management Portal is easy to use and allows us to download reports of Gift Aided donations and track what our parishioners are giving towards. Dona also provides a Donation Webpage, making it simple to manage all our donations in one convenient place. This system has completely transformed the way we collect donations, making the process smoother and more efficient than ever. It is an invaluable tool for our parish, and the positive impact is clear in the results we achieve."

“Dona’s Digital Collection Plates have provided access to a new revenue stream. In under 6 months we raised over £10,000 in digital donations with added Gift Aid. This is income we otherwise would have missed out on.”

President

The Khalsa Jatha British Isles

“Not only can our supporters choose what they want the donation to be for, but they can also declare their Gift Aid status all in the same process. This saves us lots of chasing and paperwork and of course increases the value of the donation. The functionality is effective, the user experience is good, even for those who are less used to using technology in this way.”

Operations Manager

Lantern Arts Centre, Wimbledon

“Although we have used standard card readers in the past, none of them allowed us to collect Gift Aid. This is why we chose to move forward with Dona. The Gift Aid feature is easy to use, and the Management Portal lets us track all Gift Aid related information in one place, reducing time spent on admin so that we can focus on the centre’s other needs.”

Chief Executive Officer

West London Islamic Centre

“Dona’s online donation platform proved invaluable when the Cathedral had to shut due to lockdown. Their system provides clear and comprehensive information on donations and Gift Aid. They are very responsive and nothing is too much trouble for them.”

Director of Finance

“Have to say the Support Team are fantastic. Whenever I've rung with an issue the problem has been resolved within the course of the call.”

Archdiocese of Cardiff

“Dona's contactless giving system has been fantastic for increasing our fundraising at St. Peter's Church. The whole process, from purchasing to setting up the machine, was simple and efficient, making it easy for us to get started. While issues have been rare, the customer support has been incredibly helpful whenever we've needed it. We always receive a quick response, which has given us great peace of mind. Overall, we're extremely pleased with the service and the positive impact it's having so far on our fundraising efforts."
