QC has always sought to develop modern electronic systems that will contribute to the development of philanthropy in Qatar and increasing donations for the benefit of QC projects, particularly those that allow donors multiple options in terms of the kind of projects, the countries that they wish to donate to and the amounts that they wish to donate. Currently it is possible to donate via automated coupon, SMS, on the QC website, or by applications on Smart phones and other smart devices.
These systems also link with the 64 organisations with which QC collaborates in more than 30 countries, and also enables donors to view the follow-up process and the method of action and correspondence between QC and its overseas offices and branches at home quickly and easily.the peninsula
