Abstract: A web-site based computerized system is provided for managing the distribution of donations of corporate donors to different third-party beneficiaries. The system comprises: a beneficiary database (10) containing data on a multiplicity of third-party beneficiaries/charities; a corporate donor platform (20) with web pages each accessible to a given corporate donor; a voting platform (30) with web pages each accessible to a voter, typically an employee or a customer; and a donation-distribution module (40) arranged to provide data for distributing donations to selected third party beneficiaries/charities. The votes cast for different charities are compounded to produce the distribution data.

Abstract: A computerized system for managing the distribution of charitable donations among a plurality of beneficiaries selectable by the donors or by authorized third parties, wherein the system comprises data input means (an Internet site) enabling donors or authorized third parties who access the system via the data input means to each select one or more beneficiaries or to alter their selection of beneficiaries to create a personal donation profile or PDP. The system is so arranged that when a given donor or authorized third party accesses the data input means to establish or modify a selected PDP, he can adopt at least one previously-established PDP such that successive donors or authorized third parties can likewise establish new or modified PDPs which adopt previously-established PDPs.

Abstract: A system and method for managing the generation and the collection of financial contributions from holders of payment cards (50) and for distributing the collected contributions among a plurality of beneficiaries selected by the cardholders. The payment cards (50) have a unique identification (UID) that is associated with a contribution factor (CF) representing the cardholder's selected level of contribution to be made in proportion to or based on a fixed amount per transaction or group of transactions made with the card or as a selected amount. The card's contribution factor is stored by the system, not the card. A selection of one or more beneficiaries such as charities, and where needed a distribution of these contributions among two or more beneficiaries is also associated with the card's unique identification.

A payment card system (40) processes transactions in the normal way via a transaction network and provides data (43,45) that represent contributions proportional to the amount of transactions. The payment card system (40) provides data to pay contributions to a merchant account held by a contributions processing entity (20).
