BURLINGTON, ON

The War Plane Museum in Hamilton uses TipTap that allows people support the maintenance and upkeep of one of just two WWII Lancaster bombers in the world.

There is a company in Burlington that is getting help from people who visit their premises to keep a vintage war plane in the Air.

That company works with the Salvation Army to bring in 15% of their donations; last year, they increased the donation level by 12%

They have expanded into the United States, where they are broadening the line of services they offer.

Tiptap, have you heard of them?

They use a small device that you tap with your credit card or debit card, should you decide you want to support the organization.

“What we have done, explained Mark Gordon, Managing Director, Sales and Retention, is give people an opportunity to support an organization or an idea with a one-time on-the-spot donation.

Their service provided 15%of the Salvation Army donations in 2024.

There are all kinds of things people want to support but don’t want to enter into a long-term financial commitment. Tiptap fills that gap.

“It is going to take some time to educate the public on what we can do” said Jordan.

There is a transaction fee of 10 cents each time a donation is made.  The Tiptap people earn 2.65%of each transaction.
