How to Use QR codes for Nonprofit Organizations (QRTIGER)
When you’re holding a fundraising event for your nonprofit or charity, you want donating to be as convenient as possible for your guests. Your supporters might come to your gala feeling generous, but if your software makes financial transactions and check-out difficult, you may experience a drop in your revenue.
Fortunately, fundraising platform providers like PayBee offer a convenient way for your guests to donate quickly, securely, and generously. And best of all, it’s a method that can be applied to your in-person, virtual, or hybrid events.
It’s called using QR codes.
What Are QR Codes?
QR codes are a type of matrix barcode, usually consisting of black and white squares, that can appear on everything from computer screens to printed materials. You’ve probably seen QR codes at restaurants, museums, movie theaters, and sports stadiums.
When you scan a QR code using the camera on your smartphone, the code will redirect you to a website, an online form, or any Internet page you set up.
In this age of contactless payments and social distancing, QR codes have become a part of everyday life. Restaurants are replacing physical menus with QR codes that let diners see food and drink options on their phones. Museum patrons scan QR codes on placards to learn more about exhibits. Even movie tickets are now QR codes that get scanned by ushers when you walk into a theater.
How QR Codes Help Maximize Donations at Nonprofit Fundraisers
The great thing about QR codes is that you can place them anywhere, from websites to physical flyers to the bid paddles you raise at online auctions. By giving guests such immediate access to your online resources, your virtual, in-person, and hybrid events will run much smoother.
This also grants your donors a contactless way of donating that’s more convenient than paying by cash or check. Since people aren’t comfortable about physical payments these days (and strict precautions may prevent you from offering these traditional forms of giving), QR codes provide the perfect way to get around this issue.
Knowing how to properly use QR codes makes a huge difference for nonprofit and charity fundraisers, especially in this new era of contactless payments and donations.
