We start the journey of saving money for our future wishes with a piggy bank. What if there could be a piggy bank for our own community’s future too? Pit-a-Pat is an all-in-one donation platform for small NGOs, it aims to strengthen community bonding and resilience. Small NGOs have little marketing budget and unstable funding sources compared to well-established NGOs. Small NGOs are flexible in directly helping local residents. Their work deserves recognition and support. By setting up donation kiosks in MTR stations for every district in Hong Kong, Pit-a-Pat helps small NGOs get low-cost advertising opportunities and reach a wider donor and donee base. Each kiosk focuses on small NGOs that are active in the district. For donors, Pit-a-Pat provides a transparent, convenient and engaging experience in donating and connect with NGOs in their community. Users of the Pit-a-Pat app can track causes they support and set up fundraising projects to tackle immediate community issues.
