Cashless "Quick" Donation Hardware (DipJar)

Dianne Wilson

Hello - Anyone using DipJar or some other hardware for making quick donations at events? I hoping to see what others think of these devices and if or how they thank donors who make gifts using these devices. All feedback is welcomed!

Hi there! Is this related to a product? If so, which one and I'll move it to the correct product community. Thank you!

Hello Crystal - this is not related to any particular Blackbaud product.

I was at a gamer convention where a nonprofit that was also run by the creators of the convention had a booth with DipJars. I know they were very popular with lots of people, as it made it super easy to make a quick donation.

We use TipTap which is brilliantly easy to use - but not sure if that product is available for US users. It gives itemized donation info, but not donor info, so we've used it to replace our coin collectors, and we have multiples each with their own promotional pieces so they can be placed in various spots.

Thank you for commenting Allison!

Sounds like TipTap has the same limited access to donor info as DipJar. I'll check it out. Thank you Aldera!

I looked into this a few years ago and ultimately we decided not to pursue it because the fees taken out were very high.

I agree that if you go this route it makes the most sense to be used similarly to an anonymous donation box.
