TOP 10 FUNDRAISING IDEAS USING BOOST DONATE

Walk the Walk is working with givestar, the UK’s most innovative fundraising platform

You can now turn your phone (IOS and Android) into a contactless donation device, just by downloading the free givestar app.

In this cashless world, fundraising isn’t what it was. We can’t rely on the old methods of raising money.

Shaking donation buckets and reminding your friends to donate via some obscure link just doesn’t cut it these days. 

givestar’s latest app feature leverages technology from Apple and Google, allowing you to securely turn your smartphone into a contactless donation device. Taking contactless donations on your mobile makes it easier than ever to get support for your favourite causes. 

givestar is your go-to app for making your charity fundraising count. We've made it incredibly easy for you to create impactful campaigns and connect with a supportive community of like-minded individuals. With our user-friendly technology, you can set up your fundraising initiatives in just a few taps. Manage your donations securely and track your progress in real-time, all within the convenience of our app.

Boost Donate is a brand new feature available for people fundraising exclusively on the givestar app that enables you to take contactless donations in person, instantly, from your own phone, for free. Magic! Whether you want to collect donations easily from colleagues at work, from mates down the pub, or even at the startline of your next race, our feature will let you take contactless donations from donors with a simple tap of their debit card or smartphone against your phone. That means no more fumbling for cash or dealing with complicated online forms with traditional fundraising methods. With a quick and secure way to support your favourite causes, Boost Donate takes easy fundraising to a whole new level. Let’s level-up your impact!

TAP INTO EASY FUNDRAISING WITH BOOST DONATE

You’ll find the feature exclusively on the givestar app - the ability to take contactless donations on your iOS or Android phone isn’t available on any other fundraising platform. So what are you waiting for? Head to the App Store or Google Play and download the givestar app! 

Once you have downloaded the app you'll be automatically prompted to allow 'givestar' to use your location. In order for Boost Donate to work you will need to allow location sharing when using the app.

To subsequently change your location settings on iOS go to settings > privacy & security > location services (make sure location services is on) > scroll Down to givestar and give permission. For Android swipe down from the top of the screen > touch and hold location > tap app location permissions.
