Abstract

A mobile app is one of the easiest ways a nonprofit can increase awareness, raise funds, and promote events. The portability and popularity of smartphones can strengthen the connection between users and the nonprofit they support. By creating an app that empowers users to easily participate and engage, more people might be willing to take actions and spread the word.
