A touch of giving with Apple Pay
Apple Pay Now Supports Instant Donations to Nonprofits
Apple Pay is making it easier and more secure to donate to your favorite nonprofit organizations with just a touch. Apple Pay support for charitable donations kicks off today with nonprofits ranging from global organizations such as UNICEF to startups like charity: water, and more nonprofits will offer Apple Pay over the coming months so their supporters can make easy, secure and private payments.
Giving has never been so simple — by eliminating the need to enter billing and contact info, create an account or fill out long forms to check out, Apple Pay gives nonprofit supporters a way to donate instantly.
“We are thrilled that more people will help WWF tackle urgent conservation issues this holiday season and beyond with their donations via Apple Pay.” — Terry Macko, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications, WWF.

“We’re making it incredibly easy to give back with Apple Pay,” said Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Apple Pay. “Websites and apps tell us they see twice as many people actually completing a purchase with Apple Pay than with other payment methods. We think offering such a simple and secure way to support the incredible work nonprofits do will have a significant impact on the communities they serve.”
“We see Apple Pay as a solution to improve our donor conversion funnel and help more kids in need as we can reduce user input and speed up the donation process.” — Craig Sorensen, Chief Content Marketing Officer, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
