Understanding the Need for a Secure Fundraiser

 

The Rise of Digital Giving

Over the past decade, charitable giving has shifted dramatically from cash-based transactions to secure digital platforms. Whether it's raising money for a local church, an NGO, a school, or a medical emergency, online fundraising offers convenience, speed, and reach.

However, many fundraisers face real challenges:

• Lack of donor trust
• Inadequate transparency
• Insecure payment processing
• Difficulty tracking and reporting progress
