Methods and system for enabling and allowing fundraising for charitable causes

摘要

This invention provides a system that facilitates the collection of donations and associated methods. Businesses using this system would offer discounts or other types of promotions to the users who purchase goods or services from the participating businesses. When purchasing goods or services, the user has a choice to either "save" - claim the discount or promotion; or "donate" - waive some or all of their entitlement to a charity organisation of his or her choice by way of donation. If the user chooses to "donate" all or part of his or her saving, such an amount will be transferred from the business to the nominated charity organisation. The present invention further discloses additional features, including facilitating the calculation of the exact amount of donation, and the transfer of donation from retailers to the nominated charity organisations.
