When someone wants to support your venue at the door, you shouldn't need to send them to a website or write down credit card numbers on paper. The Opendate organizer app now lets you accept donations directly through a card reader, right there in the moment.

This works for both one-time gifts and recurring donations tied to your giving campaigns. Your front-of-house staff can tap a few buttons, the donor taps their card, and the donation flows directly into your campaign totals. The donor gets an instant receipt by email, and you get a complete record in your dashboard alongside your online gifts.

This means you can actually capture those lobby conversations that start with "I'd love to help out." No more directing people to remember a URL later, or fumbling with a phone to pull up a donation page. Whether you're running a capital campaign, an annual fund, or emergency relief efforts, you can now meet donors wherever they are—at intermission, after a show, or during a community event. The donation happens in seconds, and you can get back to the conversation that matters.
