Why Amsterdam Fundraisers Are Ditching Their Phones — and Upgrading to Superspree Contactless Donation Boxes

The Safer, Smarter Way to Raise Funds in Public Spaces is Here with Superspree!

In the heart of Amsterdam — where canals meet cobblestones and bikes outnumber cars — a quiet fundraising revolution is taking place. It’s happening on countertops, at market stalls, and sometimes even zip-tied to folding tables under a rain tarp. The game-changer? The Superspree Community Fundraiser Update Kit — a portable, wearable standalone contactless donation box designed specifically for grassroots, street-level fundraisers. And unlike most fundraising tech, it doesn’t need your phone.

The Problem: Mobile Apps Aren’t Made for Real-World Fundraising

From Dam Square to De Pijp, community fundraisers are a constant presence in Amsterdam. They support refugee kitchens, youth cycling programs, climate coalitions, and every local good cause in between. But until recently, many of them were told the same thing: “Just use an app.”

Some platforms offer mobile apps for contactless donations, usually relying on the fundraiser’s own phone. On paper, it sounds efficient. In practice? Not so much.

“I had my phone snatched while collecting outside Centraal Station,” said Anika, a volunteer raising funds for an anti-trafficking nonprofit. “The app was still open. The thief had access to everything.”

She’s not alone. With mobile phone theft on the rise across Amsterdam, using your personal device as a donation terminal — in full public view — is becoming risky, inconvenient, and even exclusionary for older or tech-hesitant volunteers.

The Solution: The Community Fundraiser Update Kit, a Contactless Donation Box by Superspree

Community Upgrade Kit - contactless donation box

Superspree’s Community Fundraiser Update Kit changes the game completely. It turns any surface — a table, a window, a stand, even a bicycle crate — into a fully contactless, tamper-proof donation point, no phone required.

Key Features:

• ✅ No personal phone needed

• ✅ Accepts mobile wallet payments

• ✅ Clear visual prompts for donors

• ✅ No apps, QR codes, or downloads

• ✅ Instant setup

• ✅ Weather-resistant and anti-theft mountable

  
  

“We raised more in a Saturday market using the Superspree kit than we did in a month using QR codes,” said Bram de Jong, who runs a local arts collective in Noord. “And no one had to risk handing over their phone.”

Why It Matters: Trust, Simplicity, and Safety

When people give, they want the process to be:

• Fast (tap-and-go is ideal)

• Safe (for the donor and the fundraiser)

• Clear (what’s the cause? where’s the money going?)

  
  

The Community Fundraiser Update Kit ticks all three boxes — making it easier than ever to collect donations at festivals, on street corners, in cafes, or even from a park bench with a sandwich board. And because Superspree’s kit doesn’t rely on the volunteer’s own mobile phone, it removes a huge psychological and logistical barrier to public fundraising.

“There’s something powerful about putting the tech on the table and leaving your phone in your pocket,” said Noor, who coordinates mutual aid efforts across Amsterdam Oost. “It feels safer. More professional. More respectful.”
