How do I collect donations anonymously?

Silent Donor™ (established in 2020) is the first and largest anonymous donation platform, allowing for people and companies to easily send anonymous donations to organizations they are passionate about, while enjoying the full protection of their privacy.

Should you make your donation anonymous?

The decision to give publicly or anonymously should not be made lightly. While most donors and charities prefer public giving, there are times and situations in which anonymous donations are prudent. Some donors are always public or always anonymous, while others just give occasional anonymous gifts.

Who can see anonymous donations?

Making a donation anonymous means your name won't be visible to the public on the fundraiser page. For security reasons, you can't make an entirely anonymous donation, and the organizer and beneficiary will always be able to see your name.

How do you address an anonymous donor?

Begin your letter with Dr., Ms., Mr., or Mrs. as appropriate. Do not address the individual by their first name. Only use “Dear Donor” or “Dear Benefactor” in cases where the award letter instructs you to do so, such as when writing to an anonymous donor.
