Welcome at "The case of idonaid.org"

Mid 2009 four Belgian software developers saw a chance to offer charity organizations an alternative way of fundraising. To accomplish this they founded the non-profit organization "iDonAid".

Its mission:

Facilitating the fundraising efforts of humanitarian organizations

This resulted in the iDonAid system and the first fully developed App called "Damien" which was rejected by Apple mid November 2009.

The purpose of this blog is to illustrate the making of and explain why Apple should reconsider banning charity apps from making full use of the iTunes AppStore.
