About ChariTouch
ChariTouch is a leading provider of donation kiosk solutions serving churches and synagogues, nonprofits, and charitable organizations across the United States. Purpose-built hardware and software make it simple for supporters to give in seconds, whether they carry cash or prefer contactless payments like tap-to-pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. These thoughtfully designed giving stations remove friction at the moment of generosity, helping organizations meet donors where they are—on campus, in the lobby, at outreach events, and in the community. Over the years, these easy-to-use kiosks have helped raise millions for worthy causes, empowering teams to focus more on ministry, mission, and service and less on manual processing.
At the heart of this approach is a seamless blend of intuitive interfaces and robust security. ChariTouch kiosks support quick campaign selection, suggested amounts, custom pledges, and recurring giving, all with PCI-compliant encryption from swipe or tap to settlement. The screens are accessible and legible for users of all ages, while optional multilingual prompts and ADA-conscious design keep giving inclusive. Administrators can define funds, campaigns, and messaging that reflect a unique mission—capital drives, benevolence funds, building campaigns, holiday offerings, or disaster relief—so every donation carries clear intent and impact.
As digital engagement has grown, ChariHome complements on-site kiosks with an at-home giving experience that mirrors the same clarity and ease. Donors can explore campaigns, set recurring gifts, and manage preferences from any device, creating a unified journey across physical and online touchpoints. The result is a more resilient stewardship strategy that captures generosity wherever it happens. Today, the term charitouch has become shorthand for frictionless giving technology that supports mission-driven growth. From small congregations to multi-campus churches, from neighborhood nonprofits to regional service organizations, the platform’s consistent performance and friendly workflows make it an enduring partner in community impact.
Transform Charitable Giving with Digital Donation Kiosks
Organizations adopting digital donation kiosks often report faster gift capture, more consistent weekly giving, and a measurable uptick in participation from younger and card-first donors. With contactless giving kiosk solutions, supporters can complete a contribution in 30 seconds or less, right at the moment they feel inspired—during a service, after a presentation, or while passing a lobby display. Pre-set amounts, round-up features, designated funds, and one-tap recurring options reduce decision fatigue and help people take meaningful action in the flow of their day. Many churches and nonprofits across America see up to a 40% increase in donations after placing kiosks in highly visible locations and pairing them with clear messaging.
Security and stewardship go hand in hand. ChariTouch aligns with best practices in payment security, leveraging tokenization, point-to-point encryption, and compliant processors to protect donor data. Administrators gain transparent reporting that reconciles by fund and campaign, simplifying accounting. Integration pathways support export to common donor management and church management systems, as well as syncing with email lists for thank-you messages and impact updates. When combined with ChariHome, the giving experience moves across channels without losing context; a donor might start a gift at a kiosk and later manage their recurring schedule online, all tied back to the same profile.
Real-world examples underscore the difference. A midsize church in the Midwest placed two kiosks at main exits, paired them with a short announcement, and introduced recurring giving during a stewardship month. In the following quarter, weekend giving grew steadily as more families adopted digital contributions and fewer offerings were lost to busy schedules. A synagogue on the East Coast used kiosks during holiday services and special appeals; the clear campaign labels and on-screen stories helped channel generosity to scholarships and community assistance. Beyond houses of worship, nonprofits have leveraged kiosks at galas, pop-up fundraisers, and volunteer sign-in tables to capture impulse generosity while excitement is high. In each case, well-placed devices, visible signage, and a strong message are key to realizing the full potential of digital giving kiosks.
How Our Donation Kiosk System Works
Getting started is designed to be fast and uncomplicated—your charity kiosk can be up and running in days, not weeks. It begins with a Schedule Consultation conversation. Donation kiosk specialists listen to organizational goals, learn about campaign calendars, and identify the environments where people are most likely to give. Whether it’s a church lobby, synagogue foyer, community center, thrift shop checkout, or event registration desk, a clear understanding of foot traffic and donor behavior guides recommendations. The discussion covers power and network options, ADA considerations, and visual placement strategies that maximize visibility without disrupting flow. By the end of this step, teams receive a tailored plan that maps hardware models, branding needs, and a rollout timeline.
Next comes Custom Configuration. The kiosk interface is branded to match logos, colors, and mission language. Campaign tiles are organized by priority, and suggested amounts are tuned to typical donation patterns. This is also where recurring giving options, acknowledgments, and tax-receipt preferences are set. Payment methods—chip, swipe, and tap-to-pay—are enabled and tested, and optional donor data capture (like email for receipts) can be configured with privacy-forward defaults. If a church or nonprofit maintains a CRM or accounting system, integration and export formats are aligned to reduce manual work. For organizations that also use ChariHome, the online experience is synced so donors can manage commitments across channels without confusion.
With configuration complete, the process moves to Professional Installation and Training & Support. Installation teams deliver, mount, and secure the devices at agreed locations, fine-tuning angles and screen brightness for ambient light and sightlines. Staff receive hands-on training that covers simple daily checklists, campaign updates, receipt settings, and troubleshooting. The goal is self-sufficiency paired with confidence—teams learn how to swap campaigns for seasonal drives, read reports, and interpret trends. From there, 24/7 support keeps operations smooth, with proactive monitoring and fast assistance if a question arises. After launch, leaders often revisit placement, messaging, and on-screen prompts; even small adjustments—like moving a kiosk closer to exit doors or refreshing banner language—can lift engagement. Over time, data-driven refinements ensure donation kiosks remain catalysts for generosity, empowering churches and nonprofits to inspire more giving every week.
