As the world observes World Creativity and Innovation Day on April 21, Qatar Charity reaffirms its commitment to harnessing technology to support humanitarian causes. Through the launch of innovative digital initiatives, the organization seeks to make donating easier and more accessible, while fostering a culture of generosity within the community.
Designated by the United Nations General Assembly, World Creativity and Innovation Day highlights the vital role of creativity in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. On this occasion, Qatar Charity showcases the smart technologies it utilizes to make donations simpler and charitable giving more accessible to all.
It is within this spirit of innovation that Qatar Charity launched "Tap to Donate"—a pioneering fundraising technology and the first such device in Qatar. This user-friendly solution enables individuals to support vital humanitarian work through a simple tap of their bank cards, ensuring a seamless and efficient donation process.
With a practical design and an easy-to-use screen, the “Tap to Donate" device is strategically placed in key locations such as shopping malls, hospitals, pharmacies, cafés, fuel stations, and sports clubs, aiming to reach the widest possible audience in their daily environments.
Qatar Charity's suite of innovative solutions also includes Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, offering a highly convenient way for individuals to donate directly through their smartphones. Smart tags embedded with NFC chips are strategically installed on devices placed in restaurants, cafés, health centers, and mosques, allowing users to easily access a direct link to the donation page when their phone is brought near the tag.
Besides, Qatar Charity's updated mobile app simplifies the donation process—enabling users to browse charitable projects, choose their preferred payment method, and contribute to humanitarian causes with ease. The app also enables year-long installment donations, fostering continuous community support and a better user experience.
