Follow on Google News | Goodwill Silicon Valley Launches Unique Donation Service & iOS AppGoodwill Silicon Valley has partnered with InstantMobile Solutions, Inc. to provide an exceptional donor experience
Donors download and use the iOS App to easily create a Donation File to document items they are donating. The donor can photograph and assign a value to each donated item—providing detailed donation records that are accessible at any time. At the Goodwill donation site, a donation attendant confirms the donation, generating a digital record that eliminates the need for often misplaced paper receipts. The InstantMobile solution drives a closer, interactive relationship between Goodwill and its donors. The donor experience evolves from simply dropping off unwanted items to establishing an interactive, ongoing relationship with Goodwill. The solution includes a digital vault for donor’s donation records, the ability for individuals to donate funds to Goodwill, to opt-in to receive email and text messages, and to share their “good deeds” across social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The service is free to Goodwill’s donors and shoppers. “We are excited about the value that the InstantMobile solution brings to our constituents,” All of Goodwill Silicon Valley’s 18 retail stores and 25 donation and recycling sites will now be able to issue digital receipts. If a donor does not have an iPhone or iPad, the service is also available through their phone’s or computer’s browser at donate.goodwillsv.org About Goodwill of Silicon Valley Goodwill of Silicon Valley helps our community’s unemployed become employed.
