For our organization, we use Apple iAd to facilitate traffic to our appeals for donations for the foundation. This allows ad-based applications on the iOS store to show our ad and refer people to our website, which helps our set and drives up traffic. Donations are key to our foundation, as this is our only source of revenue.
