A system for soliciting donations via the World Wide Web or Internet. A
donor may, if desired, be an individual or an individual representing an
organization with a particular interest in a charitable organization. The
charitable organization is a nonprofit organization that has a presence
or website on the Internet. The system is integrated with the charitable
organization's website. The charitable organization has cataloged on the
system's database particular items or assets as gifts to the donor based
on the contribution area of interest of the donor. The donor, in
communication with the charitable organization, selects a donation by
activating a hyperlink to the system's website. Transparent to the donor,
the system is now in communication with the donor and the charitable
organization. The system facilitates the donation process, the selection
of gifts, the implication and effect of the tax deduction, and the
delivery of the selected gifts.
