DONATION MANAGEMENT, PROMOTION, AND FUNDS DISTRIBUTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

A process for collecting and distributing to multiple beneficiaries funds donated by multiple donors, including the steps of presenting to a donor a group of potential beneficiaries to which the donor may donate, providing to the donor a beneficiary selection means through use of which the donor may select one or more beneficiaries for effecting a donation, and providing the donor with access to a payment means through use of which the donor may make a payment to a fund managed by a process manager. The process further includes associating by the process manager the payment with the one or more selected beneficiaries, generating and transmitting to the donor a receipt means for memorializing the payment, creating a donor record in an automated records storage system that includes donor-identifying information, the donor's selected beneficiaries, and the associated amount of the payment by the donor, and generating beneficiary notification means for notifying the one or more selected beneficiaries that donated funds have been deposited for the selected beneficiaries' intended benefit and providing information on fund-retrieving steps for claiming the donated funds.
