Frequently Asked Questions

Kind Kiosk provides donation kiosks that modernize in-person fundraising for nonprofits. Our kiosks accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit cards, QR codes, and Donor Advised Funds, making it easy for visitors to donate in the moment. We offer both dedicated kiosks for permanent installations and event kiosks for temporary use at galas, conferences, and fundraising events.

Kind Kiosk is designed for nonprofits of all sizes including museums, libraries, houses of worship, animal shelters, theaters, educational institutions, and any organization that wants to capture donations from in-person visitors. We serve organizations running fundraising events like galas and conferences, as well as those seeking permanent donation solutions.

Dedicated Kiosks are designed for permanent or semi-permanent installations at locations like museums, libraries, or offices. You purchase the hardware and pay a monthly/annual subscription.

Event Kiosks are rentals for temporary use at galas, conferences, 5Ks, or other fundraising events. Ship them back when you're done!
