Abstract
A philanthropic donation management system and methods of use and doing business. The system includes a computing server in communication with a communications network, such as the Internet, a LAN, or a WAN.

The system can provide a business based on, for example, providing system, access, charitable fund management, and charitable donation transaction fees.
