Case Study: Rockville Science Center boosts donations and donor loyalty with Sprint Business's Vantiv Mobile Accept

Rockville Science Center fills the donation gap at point of sale

Rockville Science Center, a Washington D.C.-area science museum and education nonprofit, needed a better way to capture donations and membership revenue at events. With limited cash and check donations, no mobile or card-based donation option, poor online donation engagement, and inconsistent connectivity, the center struggled to meet fundraising goals and support its STEM programs. Sprint Business provided the Vantiv® Mobile Accept point-of-sale solution to help address these challenges.

Sprint Business implemented an end-to-end mobile POS setup on the Sprint network, including Apple iPads, Vantiv card readers, software, connectivity, and support. The solution let Rockville Science Center accept credit card donations and event admissions quickly and securely, reduce administrative overhead, and encourage recurring gifts through online marketing. As a result, the organization reached budget goals earlier, generated a healthy volume of income through Mobile Accept, and improved donor loyalty and receipt handling.
