Abstract
A donation may be made through a mobile platform. In some instances, a particular series of pages may be provided through a mobile device to enable a user to donate in a relatively small number of steps. The series of pages may allow a user who has previously registered with the platform to relatively quickly identify a non-profit organization to which to make a donation, submit an amount of funds for the donation, and view feedback information related to donation activities associated with the user. Donation activity data from a plurality of devices may also be analyzed to generate donation information. In some instances, the donation information may provide information regarding types of donations that are being made, times and location of donations, types of users that are making donations, and so on.
