“Our research shows how the pandemic has accelerated a stark decline in cash donations to charities, as fewer people carry cash in their pockets,” said CAF head of corporate clients Philippa Cornish. “Contactless donations are likely to make up a larger proportion of fundraising efforts for many charities, which is why we are pleased to be working with GoodBox and supporting Contactless Giving Week this December.”
