Managing CSR projects can be time-consuming, and difficult to prioritise among more pressing daily business objectives. Dona is explicitly designed to “take the stress out of CSR” and remove “all the admin burden” associated with corporate giving. Our digital platform streamlines the entire process, allowing your company to focus on making a real social impact.   

Our seamless approach involves just four intuitive steps:

1. Install Your Dona Machines: Simply place our self-service donation terminals in strategic, high-traffic areas within your workplace, such as entrances, cafes, communal areas, or near till points. They come with clear instructions, and we offer complimentary welcome webinars to get your team started.   
2. Invite a Charity: Choose from our extensive network of over 2000 UK charities already fundraising with Dona, or, if you have a specific cause in mind, you can invite your own organisations to sign up. Funds will be securely transferred directly to your chosen charity and Dona handles all the administrative setup, freeing you from logistical headaches and ensuring compliance.   
3. Track Your Fundraising: Our comprehensive Dona Management Portal allows you to effortlessly track your fundraising success in real-time. You can add company branding, set up to 20 different campaigns, customise your terminals, and view detailed fundraising data to see your impact. Share the success regularly with your team to boost morale and show the difference you are making. 
4. Change Charities: We understand that companies might like to choose different charities to support, so Dona offers the flexibility to switch where the funds processed through your donation terminals will end up. Our dedicated UK customer support team is on hand to manage this transition, ensuring a smooth change to your next chosen cause.  

Dona provides an easy way to give back for both your employees and customers, fostering a profound sense of community within your team. The self-service nature of our Digital Collection Plates (DCPs) ensures that, for the giver, donating is frictionless, which has been shown to increase donation rates.   

Our terminals support a wide array of modern payment methods, making giving as convenient as any retail transaction:

• Contactless Payments: Donors can simply “Tap to Donate” using contactless cards, smartphones (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay), or other digital wallets for a fast, seamless experience.   
• Chip and PIN: Traditional card payments are fully supported.   
• QR Code and Webpage: Every charity receives a free online donation webpage, accessible via a QR code or custom code, allowing for remote donations.   
• Offline Mode: A crucial feature, Dona’s offline mode captures and stores donations even without WiFi or 4G connection, processing them automatically once reconnected. This has been proven to increase donation income by 11%.   

Donors can collect a donation in as little as 8 seconds, ensuring minimal delay and a frictionless experience, which is vital in busy public spaces. By making giving so accessible, businesses actively encourage a culture of care and inspire teams by supporting charities aligned with company values. This collective giving builds camaraderie and strengthens team cohesion, translating into improved productivity and a more positive work environment.
