ABSTRACT:
A method of streamlining the acknowledgment of a plurality of contribution or gift commitments includes the steps of dispersing through a crowd of prospective contributors or gift givers located at a plurality of remote locations a plurality of portable, self-powered devices for the entry of data consisting essentially of monetary contribution or gift commitments, automatically correlating the data with address data of respective contributors or gift givers making monetary contribution or gift commitments, and acknowledging the respective contribution or gift commitments from a remote data processing location from where the contribution or gift commitments were entered. A multiplicity of contribution or gift commitments made at a plurality of remote locations, to distinct gift recipients or fund-raising organizations are readily acknowledged. Optionally, the method includes monitoring the frequency of the data of the contribution or gift commitments made by respective contributors, mailing acknowledgements of said contribution or gift commitments upon said frequency of the data reaching a threshold value for batch off-loading of the data inputs from the monetary contribution or gift acceptance devices to a data input receiving device whereby recordation of each of the contribution is uninterrupted by verification of validation and/or authorization, automatically correlating tax deductability status data to the contribution or gift commitment data.
