From local candidates to the national stage, most political campaigns rely on supporter donations to fund their activities and outreach. With tight timelines and growing ad costs, candidates and their campaign teams are pressured to raise as much campaign funding as quickly as possible. NFC (Near Field Communication) technology offers potential donors an easy and accessible way to donate and interact with political campaigns.
Donations are the lifeblood of churches and charities. They are essential for maintaining day-to-day operations and serving their communities. However, traditional donation methods face significant challenges in our increasingly cashless society. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology offers a modern solution, bridging the gap between donors and organizations striving to raise more funds. By leveraging secure NFC tags and their capabilities, churches and charities can enhance their fundraising efforts and double the donations received.

To adapt to this cashless world in the 2019 holiday season, The Salvation Army worked with both ClearScale and GoToTags to develop a seamless, intuitive mobile payment solution.
