QR Codes for Non-Profits, Charities & Fundraisers
Turn a poster, a letter, or a collection tin into a way to give.
Fewer people carry cash, and almost nobody types a web address from a poster into their phone. A QR code closes that gap: someone moved by your poster, appeal letter, or event stand scans it and lands on your donation page, ready to give, while they still care. The same code can point at a volunteer sign-up, an event, or the story behind the appeal, and you can change it between campaigns without reprinting anything.
Charity materials have a long life. A leaflet sits in a café for months, a poster stays on a noticeboard after the appeal it promoted has closed, and an annual report gets passed around for a year. A dynamic QR code keeps all of them useful: when one campaign ends, point the code at the next one, so a donor who scans an old leaflet still lands somewhere that needs their help rather than a closed page.

Tactical Deployments
Where charities put QR codes
These are the highest-converting physical touchpoints for non-profits & charities. Each is a separate dynamic QR code: fully trackable, updatable, and branded.
Appeal letters and direct mail: scan to give, so a reader doesn't have to find and type a web address.
Street posters and noticeboards, linking to the current appeal and switched to the next one when it ends.
Event stands and collection points, for people who'd like to give but aren't carrying cash.
Volunteer recruitment flyers, opening a short sign-up form instead of an email address to write down.
Annual reports and thank-you cards, playing a short video that shows donors what their money did.

Implementation Blueprint
How to deploy QR codes for non-profits & charities
From initial vector export to live table tents and receipt footers in under 5 minutes.
Point the code at your existing donation page
Use the page from the donation provider you already have. ScanOrbit sends people there; payments, receipts, and gift aid stay with your provider.
Give each material its own code
One code for the street posters, another for the mail-out, another for the event stand. It's the only way to see later which one people actually responded to.
Say what the scan does
A line like 'Scan to give £5' or 'Scan to volunteer' next to the code gets far more scans than a code on its own.
Switch campaigns without reprinting
When the appeal closes, change where the code points to the next one, so printed materials already in circulation keep raising money.

Need help scaling across multiple store locations, hotel properties, or commercial packaging lines?
No. The QR code sends people to the donation page you already use, such as your website's donate page or your payment provider's. Payments, receipts, and any tax relief stay with that provider. In India, a UPI code can also send a gift straight to your UPI ID.
