Increasingly, donations are present in our society for various social causes, and the advent of new technologies, especially the internet, has made it possible to give greater prominence to the number of causes worldwide. Causes that today can be reached through donations. Although there are platforms and ways to help those most in need, there is no complete tool that allows control, greater transparency, and a sense of belonging from donors. Thus, an idea arose for a business plan for the development of management of donations in the health area. The idea came up based on past cases that happened in a national context and that raised a series of doubts about the process of transparency and the purpose of the money. Taking into account the full pandemic that is happening (Covid-19) came the business plan which aims to create a tool, a mobile application (android/ios) and a website, which allow for better management and transparency in the donation process. Making it free and available to society, thus increasing the awareness of difficulties around the world and how we can help those most in need through a digital platform. A survey and analysis of platforms were carried out with the same objective, in order to make a preliminary study of what already exists and how it works, thus, it was possible to develop an innovative business plan that allows for greater management and transparency in the donation process.
