Absolutely. We have to give our donors the easiest channels to donate. Using a credit card do donate online is much easier than writing and mailing a check. It’s exciting to see the possibilities with donating via our tablets and smartphones too.

My prediction is that we will see more iPad and tablet functionality built for philanthropy, because increasingly women–often givers and the decision makers on family giving–are using their iPads for shopping.  I think their philanthropy will follow this trend.
