The present invention is a
system and a method enabled by the
system. The novel
system discloses at least one
computer terminal. Ideally the system would have many such computer terminals, or kiosks, with at least one placed in a
community center, a house of worship or some other location where a
community gathers for social or religious events. Each such
computer terminal is loaded periodically with a
database managed by a first
software application. The first
software application, or a first instance of such
software application, is deployed centrally and actively manages the
database, performing such tasks as assembling the
database with a plurality of objects received from publishers running a second software application or second instances of the software application. The manager then evaluates the quality and compliance of each object receives and forwards those approved to computer terminals located at various hosts. These computer terminals are utilized to gamer attention of individual attendees of communal centers that are hosting the disclosed terminals. The attendees utilize the terminals, also known as kiosks, to access the collections promulgated by publishers to make financial contributions to these publishers. The manager is then able to apply commissions against the publisher to cover its fees and expenses and to pay commissions on each attendee-initiated transaction to the host where a transaction was initiated.
