Pillar 2 · Donate Anywhere
Take a donation the second someone wants to give.
No cash? No problem. Tap a phone or scan a card — anywhere your firefighters are. Boot drives, parades, school visits, station tours. The donation moment doesn't wait, and now your station doesn't either.
Two ways to give in person
Both built in, no extra hardware to buy, both ready on day one.
Tap to Pay on iPhone
A firefighter opens the app, picks an amount, the donor taps their contactless card or phone to the back of the iPhone. Seconds. No card reader hardware. No cables.
- Works on any iPhone XS or newer
- Accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, contactless cards
- Funds land in your station account same day
QR cards
Pre-printed cards your firefighters hand out — or leave at the counter of any business in town. The donor scans the QR code on their own phone and gives on the spot, or later when they get home.
- Co-branded with your station
- Hand out at events, drop in to-go orders
- Works even after the firefighter walks away
Where it shines
Anywhere a firefighter shakes hands with the community — the donation moment is now in your pocket.
- Stoplight boot drives
- Town parades
- School visits
- Pancake breakfasts
- Open houses
- Community events
How it works
Three steps. Under a minute per donation.
- 1
Open the app or hand out a card
A firefighter opens Donate Anywhere on their station iPhone, or hands the donor a QR card from their pocket.
- 2
Pick an amount
Tap a preset ($1, $5, $20) or enter a custom dollar amount on the spot. No paperwork, no clipboard.
- 3
Donor taps or scans
Donor holds their card or phone to the back of your iPhone — or scans the QR card on their own phone. Seconds to a confirmation.
Three ways to get your QR cards
Pick what fits. Your design and QR are ready the moment you sign up.
Ship it
Default option
Order QR cards through your dashboard. We print via Gelato and ship them to the firehouse in 3–5 business days. No design work needed — we co-brand each batch with your station.
Pick it up today
Same-day, no waiting
Generate the print-ready file from your dashboard, send it to a Staples for same-day pickup. Have cards in hand by the afternoon if you need them for tomorrow's event.
Print locally
Zero cost
Download the PDF and print on any office printer or at a local print shop. Works in a pinch and costs nothing.
Want local businesses collecting for you too?
The same QR cards work at the front counter of every pizza shop, diner, and hardware store in town. Foot traffic they already have, donations going to your department. See the Local Partners program →
