About ChariTouch: Leading Provider of Donation Kiosk Solutions for Faith Communities and Nonprofits
ChariTouch is a leading provider of donation kiosks for churches, synagogues, nonprofits, and charitable organizations across the USA. Purpose-built for mission-driven teams, the platform blends trusted payments, donor-centered design, and real-time insights to help organizations fund what matters most. From weekly tithes and benevolence offerings to capital campaigns and seasonal appeals, ChariTouch gives communities a modern, easy way to give on the spot. The result is powerful: faith and nonprofit partners report measurable growth in participation and total gifts, and ChariTouch kiosks have helped raise millions for worthy causes nationwide.
At the core is frictionless, contactless giving. Donors can tap to give using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or contactless cards, and complete a gift in seconds with a clear, intuitive flow. Suggested amounts, custom campaigns, and one-tap recurring options gently guide generosity without pressure. Accessibility features and multilingual interfaces remove barriers for every member of the community. For churches and synagogues, the kiosks complement envelopes and online portals by meeting people where they already are—lobbies, fellowship halls, and high-traffic gathering areas—while shortening the distance between inspiration and action.
Trust is foundational. ChariTouch prioritizes security with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance across card-present and wallet transactions. Automatic, itemized receipts aid donor stewardship and year-end statements, while detailed reporting lets administrators see which campaigns resonate and where to adjust messaging. With audit-friendly logs, campaign-level performance, and secure user permissions, leaders can confidently manage gifts without adding extra administrative burden. The platform’s visual brand customization preserves the integrity of each organization’s identity, giving donors confidence they are giving directly to the ministries and programs they love.
ChariTouch extends beyond the lobby, too. Many organizations pair in-person kiosks with digital giving options to reach supporters wherever they are. The companion experience, charihome, encourages supporters to stay connected to campaigns during the week, at home, or while traveling. Together, these experiences help unify outreach, events, and weekend services so campaigns remain visible, relevant, and easy to support with a single, consistent donor journey.
Transform Charitable Giving with Digital Donation Kiosks
When giving is easy, participation increases. ChariTouch kiosks optimize the path to generosity with a 10–15 second donation flow that eliminates friction at the point of decision. Large, readable prompts and a streamlined set of choices encourage donors to complete a gift rather than abandon it. Smart defaults surface popular amounts and campaigns first, while customized options let supporters direct gifts to specific missions, benevolence funds, relief efforts, capital projects, or youth programs. The design philosophy is simple: remove hurdles, amplify clarity, and make every interaction feel personal and purposeful. Many partners see giving increase by up to 40% after placing contactless giving kiosks where engagement is highest.
Get your charity kiosk up and running in days, not weeks. The ChariTouch team guides organizations from idea to impact with a predictable, end-to-end process. Each step is designed to meet the realities of busy staff schedules while ensuring the finished solution fits the culture, space, and goals of the organization.
Schedule Consultation: Every engagement begins with listening. Donation kiosk experts assess your audience, facility layout, and growth goals, reviewing service times, event rhythms, and seasonal giving patterns. This discovery helps identify where kiosks will have the most visibility and which campaign structures will inspire action. If your team already uses online giving or a church management system, the consultation includes how the kiosk complements existing channels for a cohesive donor experience.
Custom Configuration: With insights in hand, ChariTouch configures your kiosk to align with your mission and brand. Campaign tiles, background imagery, and language reflect your identity, while the giving experience is tuned for clarity—suggested amounts, one-tap recurring, and optional donor details. Administrators can enable text receipts, add time-bound campaigns (like a holiday outreach), and set up reporting dashboards that highlight metrics such as first-time donors, average gift size, and campaign performance. The result is a tailored, on-brand giving station that makes generosity intuitive.
Professional Installation: The field team delivers and installs the kiosk where it will be seen and used—near entrances and exits, welcome centers, children’s check-in, or event registration tables. Power and connectivity are planned for reliability, and placements are tested for sightlines and flow. In many locations, signage and simple prompts (“Tap to Give,” “Support the Food Pantry Today”) increase engagement without detracting from the atmosphere of worship or community. With everything tested and activated, your team can begin accepting gifts immediately.
Training & Support: Staff receive concise training on device operation, campaign management, and reporting—what to check before services, how to launch a new campaign, and how to export summaries for finance. Ongoing 24/7 support and remote diagnostics safeguard uptime, and automatic updates introduce new features without extra work. From Sunday mornings to mid-week meetings, the kiosk is always ready to serve, and your team has a responsive partner for troubleshooting and best practices. The entire process—consultation through install—typically completes in days, not weeks, so impact starts quickly.
Sub-Topics and Case Studies: Real-World Results That Inform Best Practices
Consider a mid-sized church in the Southeast that wanted to strengthen participation across multiple services. Before installing ChariTouch, the church relied on envelopes and an online portal. By placing two giving kiosks in high-traffic zones—the main lobby and near the children’s check-in—the team made generosity visible at moments when members were already engaged. Clear on-screen prompts featured “Tithe,” “Missions,” and “Community Care,” while a seasonal campaign highlighted benevolence needs. In six months, the church measured a meaningful jump in recurring gifts and experienced a total giving increase comparable to the commonly cited 40% uplift. The biggest surprise arrived in participation: many first-time givers chose the kiosk for its simplicity, often completing their first contribution in under 20 seconds.
A synagogue in the Midwest used ChariTouch to modernize appeals around High Holy Days and ongoing community support. The team set up campaigns for general funds, education, and memorial donations, and added multilingual prompts to serve members of diverse backgrounds. Placement near the social hall encouraged giving during community time rather than interrupting services. Staff appreciated the clarity of post-service reporting, particularly the ability to attribute donations to specific appeals and generate instant summaries for finance. Members praised the discretion and speed of the contactless experience, while leadership valued how the kiosks complemented—rather than replaced—traditional methods of tzedakah.
A regional nonprofit focused on hunger relief piloted ChariTouch kiosks at pop-up outreach events and the organization’s headquarters. Event volunteers used kiosks to spotlight timely campaigns—emergency relief, school pantry restocking, and holiday baskets—while QR codes mirrored the kiosk flow for supporters who preferred to give from their phones. The nonprofit found that short, story-driven prompts near the terminals (“Feed a Family for a Week”) increased average gift size. Recurring gifts set at the kiosk created a dependable baseline for monthly operations, smoothing revenue between major appeals. Analytics helped the team refine campaign messaging, shedding light on which stories motivated action and which donation amounts were most common.
In the arts and culture space, a community museum used ChariTouch to capture impulse generosity from visitors who might not return for months. Configurations included general support, exhibit sponsorships, and education programs. The museum paired the kiosks with placards highlighting impact per gift level (“$25 funds art supplies for a student workshop”). A corporate-matching prompt on the receipt page nudged donors to check eligibility, and the team tracked a steady increase in match claims. Integration with donor management software simplified stewardship: first-time donors received an automated thank-you email within minutes, and high-value gifts triggered personal follow-ups from staff. Over time, the museum noted more consistent weekend revenue and better conversion from visitors to supporters.
Across these examples, several best practices consistently improve outcomes. Organizations benefit from prominent placement, simple signage, and purposeful prompts that connect gifts to tangible outcomes. Campaign design matters: fewer, clearer choices reduce friction, while a visible recurring option sustains impact between events. Branded visuals and consistent language build trust, and small details—like fast receipts, short forms, and thoughtful default amounts—accelerate completion. Finally, leadership teams that regularly review kiosk analytics make smarter decisions about messaging and timing, using data to fine-tune appeals before the next service or event. With ChariTouch, the combination of human-centered design, secure payments, and responsive support equips mission-driven teams to invite generosity in the moments it matters most.
