There exists a wide variety of fundraising tools nonprofits can rely on. An increasingly popular tool is labelled 'charity checkouts'. This is the phenomenon whereby nonprofit organizations collaborate with retailers/restaurants/stores. More specifically, customers of these retailers/restaurants/stores are being asked to donate at the time of checkout (e.g., when at a retailer's self check-out). Various donation appeals are being used, such as rounding up one's bill or donating a flat dollar to a good cause. Oftentimes, the terms checkout charities and point-of-sale donations are used as synonyms.
