Abstract

A mechanism (101) for automating the task of accumulating a group gift to be donated to a recipient (123) is described. In one embodiment, the present invention is a network (120)-accessible software application that allows a promoter (121) to initiate a gift campaign. The promoter (121) identifies to the software application the recipient (123) and the potential participants (125-128). The software application then automatically contacts the potential participants (125-128) and invites them to donate to the group gift. At the termination of the gift campaign, the software application issues the gift to the recipient (123).
