In their own words
Dona
Dona is a donation platform for charities and other fundraising organisations. It combines contactless donation terminals, an online giving page with QR code, and a management portal. Terminals accept contactless payments up to £100, Chip and PIN up to £9999, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay and other digital wallets. They can collect donations offline, although Wi-Fi or 4G is required to process collected donations. The portal monitors donations, configures devices, produces fundraising reports, manages Gift Aid and provides AI insights and forecasts. Organisations can create up to 20 campaigns, while donors can opt into Gift Aid and charities can download HMRC-ready declarations. Stripe processes cards at 1.58% per transaction. Service starts at £12.50 per device per month, with hardware packages sold separately. Dona was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in London.
