Contactless Giving App

A Powerful Fundraising Tool in Your Pocket

The KindLink Contactless App is more than just a payment processor. It's an all-in-one solution for modern, in-person fundraising.

Tap to Pay on Your Phone

Utilise your phone's built-in NFC technology to accept contactless credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. It's fast, secure, and eliminates the need for card readers.

Integrated CRM Link

Every donation is instantly recorded in your KindLink CRM. Track supporter history, manage relationships, and generate unified reports without manual data entry.

Unified Campaign Reporting

Every contactless donation is instantly linked to the correct campaign and automatically recorded in your KindLink CRM for real-time, unified reporting.

Automated Gift Aid Claims

Maximise every donation. Eligible UK donors can add Gift Aid with a single checkbox, and KindLink automates the claim process with HMRC for you, saving valuable admin time.

Secure Donor Data Capture

Collect donor details securely and compliantly (GDPR). Turn one-time event donors into long-term supporters by building relationships through your integrated CRM.

Empower Staff & Volunteers

Equip your entire team to become fundraisers. Staff and volunteers can securely accept donations on their own phones without needing access to your main account.

Start Collecting Donations in Minutes

Our intuitive app makes it easy to go from setup to accepting your first contactless donation.

Step 1: Download & Setup

Install the app, securely log in, and choose the charity and project you wish to fundraise for.

Step 2: Tap to Give

Let the donor choose an amount from the pre-set, customisable options and simply ask them to tap their contactless card or phone to receive the donation.

Step 3: Thank and Repeat

Ask the donor to boost the donation with Gift Aid and send a receipt with a single click. The app is immediately ready for the next donation.

FAQs About KindLink’s Contactless Fundraising App

Is it secure to take donations on a mobile phone?

Absolutely. All transactions are processed using PCI-DSS-compliant payment gateways, the global standard for payment security. Donor card details are encrypted and never stored on the phone.
Are there any fees?

The KindLink Fundraising platform and CRM can be used for free by charities. You only cover the standard bank fees from our payment partner, Stripe. We don't charge any commission. Our Contactless Fundraising App is accessible to fundraisers for free and the charities receiving funds need to have the KindLink Expert subscription (£ 30 p/m). Bank processing fees apply on card payments. See pricing and more features..
What do I need to get started?

Fundraisers can create a free KindLink account and only need a modern smartphone (most NFC-enabled Android and iPhones are compatible). Charities can sign up for free and need to upgrade to Expert subscription. There is no need to buy or rent separate card readers or hardware.
Can volunteers use the app?

Yes! You can set up limited-access accounts for volunteers, allowing them to collect donations for specific campaigns without accessing sensitive organisational data. It's perfect for event fundraising.
Can we reclaim Gift Aid on every contactless donation?

Yes, absolutely. Our platform is fully equipped to handle Gift Aid. You can easily collect the necessary details from donors so you can reclaim the additional 25% on every eligible donation, maximising your fundraising efforts. The KindLink CRM Automatic GiftAid feature also allows you to directly submit your GiftAid claim with HMRC.
Do our fundraisers need a constant Wi-Fi or data connection?

Yes, for the transactions to process in real-time and to ensure complete security, the device requires a stable connection to either a Wi-Fi network or a mobile data signal (like 4G or 5G). This ensures every tap is captured and processed immediately.
Why Raise Contactless Donations?
Contactless fundraising is the future because supporter behaviour has already changed. The simple truth is that society is moving away from cash, and your fundraising strategy must adapt to meet your donors where they are.
- Cash donations are declining: 73% of charities report a drop in street donations simply because fewer people carry cash. Cash now accounts for fewer than 12% of all donations in the UK.
- Digital giving is the new expectation: Over 70% of supporters under the age of 44 now expect the ability to donate with their mobile wallet.
- It captures immediate generosity: A contactless solution ensures you never miss a donation due to a lack of cash. Our app bridges the gap, turning every tap into an opportunity for your cause, whenever and wherever your supporters feel inspired.
Can we try the KindLink Contactless Fundraising App before we commit?

Absolutely. We believe in the power of our app, and we want you to see it for yourself. That’s why we offer a 7-day, all-access free trial. It’s your chance to experience firsthand how easy it is to capture more donations.
What happens when the trial period ends? Will I be charged automatically?
