Introducing In-Person Donations with GiveWP and Jovvie

At GiveWP, we’re always looking for ways to help nonprofits and fundraisers connect with their donors and maximize impact. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the Jovvie Payment Gateway — a seamless solution for collecting in-person donations through your GiveWP forms.

Whether hosting an event, connecting with supporters at a gathering, or setting up a kiosk at your office or community space, Jovvie makes it easy for donors to give on the spot.

In-person donations complement your Give-powered online donations, and now you can do both in one place. Jovvie In-Person Payment Gateway integrates fully with Give for card swipe, tap, and scan in-person. You can check out the Jovvie In-Person Payment Gateway here.

Why In-Person Donations Matter

In-person donations create an instant, personal connection with your donors. By eliminating the need for post-event follow-ups or delayed online transactions, you can:

• Boost Donation Amounts: Donors give generously when engaged in the moment.
• Reduce Payment Friction: Make giving easy and immediate with options like swipe, tap, or digital wallets.
• Increase Engagement: Strengthen donor relationships by creating meaningful experiences that encourage ongoing support.

How In-Person Donations Can Supplement Online Fundraising

While online fundraising provides a convenient way for supporters to give any time, in-person donations complement your digital efforts by offering immediate, hands-on engagement. Here’s how combining both strategies can maximize your impact.

Reach a Wider Audience

Not all donors are comfortable with online giving. Some may prefer to give in person due to security concerns, lack of access to digital payment methods, or simply because they prefer a more hands-on transaction. By offering online and in-person donation options, your nonprofit ensures that no potential donor is left out, expanding your reach and increasing overall contributions.

Capitalize on High-Energy Moments

Live fundraising events, charity galas, and community gatherings create an atmosphere of excitement and emotional engagement. This is the perfect moment to encourage giving, as donors feel inspired by the cause and are more likely to contribute generously. With Jovvie, you can seamlessly collect donations in these moments, ensuring you maximize the enthusiasm and goodwill of your supporters.

Encourage Recurring Support

Meeting donors face-to-face builds trust and fosters a deeper connection between them and your mission. Donors engaging in person are more likely to commit to ongoing support through recurring online donations, volunteering, or becoming long-term advocates for your cause. By integrating Jovvie into your fundraising strategy, you can use in-person interactions to strengthen long-term donor relationships.

Knowing when to use in-person donations can help create a seamless giving experience that enhances your fundraising strategy. Consider these key opportunities:

• At Events: Use Jovvie for on-the-spot donations at charity galas, auctions, walks, and festivals.
• During Community Outreach: Set up a donation kiosk at public gatherings, awareness campaigns, or partner locations.
• In Your Office or Facility: Allow visitors and walk-in donors to contribute easily with tap-to-pay or card transactions.
• For One-on-One Appeals: If you meet potential donors in person, having an easy payment solution ensures immediate support.
