I made my first donation today using a QR code to Youth for Understanding exchange program for its scholarship fund.
To use a QR code, you open the camera function on your phone and aim it at the square code. Guidelines surround the code. You snap a photo. An oblong bar will appear on your screen. Tap the bar and you will be taken to your donation page.
Once there, you can see the monetary goal and amount raised so far as well as credit card information.
Once you donate, you can request a receipt.
I liked not having to type a long web address and liked having the donation going in immediately.
For information about YFU, check out their website.
