Contactless Fundraising Technology

NFC Tags for Nonprofits

Turn any surface into an instant action point. Rally Corp's NFC technology triggers preloaded text messages, donation pages, or custom forms—no apps, no typing, no friction.

Why Nonprofits Are Switching to NFC Donation Tags

Every step in your donation process loses potential donors. NFC tags for nonprofits eliminate friction entirely—supporters tap their phone and your donation page opens instantly. No QR codes to scan, no URLs to type, no apps to download. Combined with Rally Corp's mobile messaging platform, NFC becomes part of a powerful multichannel fundraising strategy.

Capture Impulse Donations

Strike while the iron is hot. When donors feel moved at events or appeals, NFC removes every barrier between emotion and action.

Increase Conversion Rates

Every step in the donation process loses donors. NFC eliminates URL typing, QR scanning, and app downloads—boosting completion rates up to 40%.

Stand Out From Other Nonprofits

Most nonprofits still rely on paper forms and clunky donation pages. NFC signals innovation and positions your organization as forward-thinking.

Track Campaign Performance

Each NFC tag can be tied to specific campaigns, events, or locations. Know exactly which touchpoints generate the most donations.

How NFC Tags Work for Nonprofit Fundraising

Getting started with NFC fundraising is simple. Rally Corp handles the technology so your nonprofit can focus on your mission.

1

Order Your NFC Tags

Rally Corp provides pre-programmed NFC tags customized for your nonprofit. Choose what each tap triggers—a preloaded text message, your donation page, or a custom form.

2

Deploy at Events & Locations

Place NFC tags at fundraising events, in your office, on direct mail, or anywhere donors gather. Supporters tap their phone—no app download, no typing required.

3

Donors Take Action Instantly

Your chosen action opens in under 3 seconds. Whether it's a donation page, customizable form, or preloaded text ready to send—donors engage seamlessly.

One Tap. Three Powerful Actions.

Rally Corp NFC tags are fully customizable. Choose what happens when supporters tap—a preloaded text, any landing page, or a mobile form.

Key Differentiator

Preloaded Text Message

Tap opens a pre-written text message. Donor just hits send to trigger your automation or workflow. Perfect for combining Tap-to-Give with Text-to-Give.

Any Website or URL

Direct supporters to your donation page, campaign landing page, event registration, or any URL of your choice.

Customizable Form

Open a mobile-optimized form for donations, volunteer signups, contact info capture, or surveys.

Tap + Text = The Perfect Combo

Unlike competitors, Rally Corp NFC tags can trigger a preloaded text message. The donor taps, sees the pre-written message, and just hits send. That single text can start an automation, trigger a workflow, or kick off a text-to-give donation—no typing required. It's the easiest way to combine physical touchpoints with mobile messaging power.

NFC Tags vs QR Codes for Nonprofit Donations

Both connect physical touchpoints to digital giving, but NFC offers key advantages for nonprofit fundraising.
