About ChariTouch: Leading provider of donation kiosk solutions for churches and synagogue, nonprofits, and charitable organizations across the USA.

Behind every mission is a moment: a sermon that moves hearts, a community appeal that sparks action, a campaign that brings a vision to life. The challenge is capturing that moment when attention and intention are at their peak. ChariTouch solves this with tap-to-give simplicity, turning inspiration into action through contactless giving and intuitive digital experiences. Donors can contribute using credit and debit cards, NFC wallets, QR codes, and mobile pay, eliminating friction that blocks engagement and helping organizations reach supporters who no longer carry cash or checks.

ChariTouch’s platform balances ease-of-use with enterprise-grade reliability. Purpose-built hardware combines secure, EMV-compliant readers with bright, accessible touchscreens. The software layers give campaigns a voice: branded interfaces, preset amounts, recurring gift options, and instant receipt delivery that boosts transparency and trust. Behind the scenes, detailed reporting and integrations with leading ChMS and CRM tools help staff understand trends, improve outreach, and steward relationships with care. Whether serving a growing church, a synagogue in a bustling city, or a regional nonprofit with multiple sites, the system scales and adapts to the rhythms of your community.

Because generosity does not stop at the sanctuary doors, ChariTouch aligns the in-person moment with the digital pathways supporters expect. Shareable links and mobile-responsive forms extend giving beyond weekend services into weekday life, while portable kiosks make generosity simple at festivals, conferences, and community events. For donors who prefer to contribute from home, initiatives like charihome show how intuitive experiences can keep generosity close and continuous. With ChariTouch, organizations elevate stewardship, simplify operations, and create a culture of everyday giving that endures.

How Our Donation Kiosk System Works

Get your charity kiosk up and running in days, not weeks. The ChariTouch process is designed to be fast, clear, and collaborative so your team can focus on mission, not middleware.

Schedule Consultation. A dedicated consultant learns your goals, audiences, and campus logistics. This discovery step maps out giving pathways—one-time, recurring, pledge-based, event-specific—and identifies the best hardware footprints for lobbies, foyers, halls, and portable use. You’ll see how contactless giving kiosks can amplify campaigns, unify data, and remove bottlenecks like long lines at offering tables or weekend-only engagement.

Custom Configuration. Your kiosk becomes a branded extension of your mission. ChariTouch configures colors, logos, background imagery, and campaign tiles so donors instantly recognize your message. Gift presets are tuned to your giving patterns, and supporters can choose funds, split donations, or set recurring schedules in seconds. Optional prompts for matching gifts, volunteer interest, or newsletter opt-ins deepen connections while respecting a donor’s time. This thoughtful UX reduces friction and improves conversion across diverse age groups, including first-time givers.

Professional Installation. The team delivers and installs your donation terminals at high-visibility, high-traffic locations where engagement naturally happens—near entrances, hospitality hubs, and welcome centers. Each unit is calibrated for ADA-friendly heights and angles, with cable management that blends into the environment. Staff receive a walkthrough of daily power-up, security practices, and simple troubleshooting. For multi-campus and event-driven nonprofits, portable stands and battery-backed options ensure your giving kiosks go wherever momentum grows.

Training & Support. Hands-on onboarding empowers staff and volunteers to manage campaigns, reconcile gifts, and interpret analytics. Intuitive dashboards reveal which funds resonate, when donations spike, and how small optimizations move the needle. Real-time reports help finance teams reconcile quickly, while automated receipts and statements nurture transparency. Ongoing 24/7 support ensures your donation kiosks operate smoothly, with proactive monitoring, software updates, and security patches. If your strategy evolves—holiday drives, disaster relief, building funds—ChariTouch adapts immediately with new flows and messaging that reflect your mission’s urgency and heart.

Security and compliance are baked in. The hardware is EMV and PCI compliant, with end-to-end encryption from tap to settlement. Role-based permissions protect sensitive data, and audit trails make finance reviews simple and accurate. Combined with integrations to leading accounting systems and church management platforms, ChariTouch helps teams reduce manual entry, prevent errors, and reclaim hours each week. The result is a cohesive giving experience that unites in-person inspiration with digital convenience, all under a single, reliable platform.

Real-World Impact: Faith Communities and Nonprofits Growing Generosity with ChariTouch

Consider a growing church in the Midwest that saw an increasing number of visitors but flat weekly giving. The leadership introduced two contactless giving kiosks—one in the main lobby and another near the children’s check-in area—to meet people where they naturally gather. Over the next eight weeks, digital giving participation rose steadily as more families adopted tap-to-give. With recurring gift prompts, the church created a new baseline for consistent support, resulting in a 43% increase in weekly contributions and a marked rise in first-time donor retention by month three.

In a coastal synagogue, board members faced a familiar pattern: high generosity during holy days, then tapering support throughout the year. The ChariTouch team collaborated on a set of seasonal funds that highlighted education, community services, and elder care. Branded kiosk screens during key gatherings told mission stories succinctly, while mobile follow-up messages encouraged ongoing support. The congregation’s donors appreciated the clarity and ease, and the synagogue’s finance team used the analytics to predict cash flow more accurately, align budgets to real needs, and plan new programs with confidence.

For a regional nonprofit focused on food security, major events and pop-up drives are critical to raising awareness. Portable digital donation kiosks allowed the team to accept gifts at farmers’ markets, school fairs, and corporate volunteer days—moments when community energy is palpable. By pairing kiosks with QR codes for mobile donors, the organization captured both impulse generosity and deeper commitments. With robust donor data, they segmented communications to thank supporters immediately, invite recurring gifts, and show impact through monthly updates. Over one year, the nonprofit saw a significant uptick in recurring donors and a reduction in end-of-year fundraising pressure.

These outcomes share a common thread: when giving is simple, secure, and visible, generosity grows. ChariTouch’s interface removes uncertainty from the donor journey—the amount is clear, the fund is chosen, the confirmation arrives instantly. Because the system supports multiple languages, configurable prompts, and ADA-friendly design, a broader cross-section of the community feels welcomed into the act of giving. By integrating with accounting and donor platforms, administrators gain a single source of truth, ensuring that every dollar is tracked, acknowledged, and stewarded. Leaders can then shift energy from manual processes to ministry, outreach, and program delivery, where it matters most.

Beyond numbers, culture changes. Volunteers feel empowered when they can confidently invite others to give using an elegant, modern tool. Staff can spin up special campaigns in minutes—supporting a family in crisis, responding to a natural disaster, or launching a new initiative—without waiting for complex web edits or third-party forms. Members see their contributions connect to tangible impact, building trust and participation. In the long run, these patterns reshape generosity from a periodic obligation into an ongoing, joyful practice. With ChariTouch, organizations turn moments of inspiration into sustainable momentum, helping faithful communities and nonprofits thrive in a digital-first world.
