Maximise telethon success with a suite of donation capture tools covering telephone, chat, video, and online channels — designed to maximise the impact of every campaign donation.
Telethon volunteers, fragmented donation channels, and complex campaign reporting create compliance and operational risks that generic tools ignore.
Volunteer callers handling card numbers over the phone creates a serious PCI compliance risk. Every agent who hears card data is a potential breach point — and charities rarely have the security infrastructure to manage this.
Coordinating telethon campaigns, direct mail appeals, and online giving across multiple channels produces fragmented data and inconsistent donor records.
Managing payments for galas, auctions, and sponsored events alongside ongoing programmes requires secure processing and accurate attribution across overlapping campaigns.
Donors give via phone, online, mobile, and in person — but most foundations use different tools for each channel, making reconciliation and reporting a constant headache.
From telethon campaigns to recurring giving programmes, every feature is designed to maximise donations securely.
Proprietary DTMF masking lets donors key in card details during the call while agents hear only flat tones. Card data never enters your foundation's systems — ideal for telethons with temporary staff.
Send branded payment links by email or SMS for donations and event payments. Donors pay at their convenience from any device — fully PCI compliant with your branding throughout.
Set up regular giving programmes during a single phone call. Tokenised card storage means donations collect automatically on schedule, turning one-off gifts into sustained income.
Run telethon campaigns, seasonal appeals, and fundraising drives with dedicated donation pages. Track every gift against the correct campaign for accurate reporting to trustees.
Collect donations via phone, online, payment links, and mobile — all through a single secure platform with unified reporting and a single donor view.
The highest level of PCI certification, audited annually by a Qualified Security Assessor. Reduce your compliance scope by removing card data from your environment entirely.

Callers dial donors as normal. When it is time to take payment, the donor keys their card details into the phone keypad. DTMF masking replaces the tones in real time so callers never hear or see the card number. Payment confirmation appears on the caller's screen.
Yes — that is one of the key advantages. Because callers never access card data, there is no PCI training burden and no risk from short-term volunteers handling sensitive information.
During a call, the donor authorises a recurring schedule and enters their card details via DTMF masking. The card is securely tokenised, and subsequent payments collect automatically without the donor needing to call back.
Yes. Every donation is tagged to a specific campaign, appeal, or event. The dashboard provides real-time reporting on campaign performance, donor attribution, and overall fundraising progress.
