Contactless Donation Kiosks for Animal Rescue Centres
Nobody leaves an animal rescue centre unmoved. A visitor meets a dog waiting for a home, hears what it took to get a neglected pony back on its feet, and wants to help right then. A DonorDynamics donation kiosk in your reception or visitor area lets them act on that feeling with a single tap, and captures the Gift Aid declaration while they do.
From a small rescue rehoming from a farmyard to a centre with a visitor cafe and charity shops, every device arrives pre-configured. Unbox it, connect it, and it is taking donations the same afternoon.
Why the Collection Tin on the Counter Is Not Enough
Animal charities have always been good at the emotional ask. The problem is the answer: a visitor moved to give reaches for a wallet that holds no cash, because cash now accounts for roughly one in ten UK payments. The tin shaped like a dog still earns its place on the counter, but the kiosk next to it is what actually takes the donation.
- Takes Apple Pay, Google Pay, contactless cards, on screen PIN, and QR code donations
- Runs unattended in locked kiosk mode, so staff and volunteers stay with the animals, not the till
- LED edge lighting picks up your campaign colours and catches the eye in a busy reception
- GDPR and PCI DSS compliant, so payment details never become your problem to store
Gift Aid on Every Eligible Donation
Each device runs Give A Little fundraising software, which captures digital Gift Aid declarations on screen. A UK taxpayer completes a short declaration and your rescue claims 25% on top from HMRC, with every declaration stored and exported ready for your claim. On vet bills that never stop coming, a quarter extra on every eligible gift is not a detail.
Matching a Device to Your Centre
A rehoming reception, a kennel-block walkway, a charity shop and an open-day field all need something different. Five form factors cover them.
CharityDesk, £439
Made for the rehoming reception and the charity shop counter, with a 1.8 m security cable so it stays where you put it. The natural first device: every visitor and every adopter passes it.
CharityWall, £439
A fixed giving point mounted at eye level at the visitor entrance or along the route past the enclosures, exactly where hearts are won.
CharityTab, £399
Wireless and VESA-mountable, the easy way to add giving points: one in the cattery, one in the visitor cafe, one in each charity shop in town.
CharityPole, £729
A freestanding pole that goes where the crowd is: the open day, the fun dog show ring, the marquee at the summer fair, then back to reception on Monday.
CharityStand, £899
The full floor-standing kiosk for centres with a real visitor operation, where the giving point should hold its own next to the welcome desk.
Live Before the Next Open Day
Give A Little comes pre-installed at the factory. Three things stand between unboxing and your first donation:
- Wi-Fi at the device location, or a mobile dongle for the far end of the site
- A free Give A Little account from givealittle.co
- A Stripe account linked to the rescue's existing charity bank account
Connect, sign in, done. No IT project, no contractor visit.
One Device, Every Appeal
Create as many campaigns as you need and customise each one with your own branding, imagery and suggested donation amounts. From the Give A Little dashboard you can change what appears on screen at any time, without anyone touching the device. Switch the general fund to an emergency vet appeal the day a difficult case arrives, put the winter feed campaign on screen when the costs bite, then switch back, all controlled remotely.
Questions Rescue Centres Ask Us
Can visitors sponsor an animal monthly?
Yes. Recurring donations are set up on the kiosk screen in under a minute, which turns the moment someone falls for a resident into sponsorship that lasts.
Can we run an emergency vet fund separately?
Yes. The vet fund runs as its own campaign in Give A Little, tracked and reported separately, so supporters can see their gift going exactly where they intended.
Can we use kiosks in our charity shops too?
Yes. Every device signs in to the same Give A Little account and settles to the same Stripe account, so the shops and the centre report into one place.
What does it cost to run?
The hardware is a one-off purchase from DonorDynamics with no subscription. Give A Little applies a platform fee and Stripe charges its standard processing rate. That is the whole cost picture.

Rescues that run charity shops face the same counter-top decisions as hospices, and our charities page covers fundraising across shops, events and reception in the round.
