Apple today announced that you can now donate to your favorite nonprofit organizations with just a touch using Apple Pay.

Apple Pay support for charitable donations kicks off today with nonprofits ranging from global organizations such as UNICEF to startups like charity: water, and more nonprofits will offer Apple Pay over the coming months so their supporters can make easy, secure and private payments.

Donating via Apple Pay means you don't need to enter billing and contact info, create an account, or fill out long forms.

“We’re making it incredibly easy to give back with Apple Pay,” said Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Apple Pay. “Websites and apps tell us they see twice as many people actually completing a purchase with Apple Pay than with other payment methods. We think offering such a simple and secure way to support the incredible work nonprofits do will have a significant impact on the communities they serve.”

Nonprofits bringing Apple Pay to supporters today include:
American Red Cross
American Heart Association
charity: water
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
COPD Foundation
Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA)
Doctors without Borders
Feeding America
