#The QR research you need to inform fundraising decisions
QR codes are everywhere and for good reason. The quick response codes allow us to transact and engage with content at our convenience. For charities, 'scan to give’ campaigns have:
- Helped supporters engage with charity content safely and at-distance
- Collected mobile donations when fundraising teams couldn’t be there in person
- Increased awareness for the charity, its brand, and their campaigns
- Saved time, money, and stress when event information changed
Although the benefits are exciting, you must take care when choosing a QR code solution. A QR code generator must be secure (and not all of them are) and the digital experience they link to is the most important part for you.
With this in mind, it’s okay if you don’t know where to start or which QR code generator to trust.
If you’ve landed on this page, then you’re doing the right thing. You're doing your research.
To make it easy for you we have created a directory of resources so that you can gather what you need to move forward.
