Conservation charity The Gorilla Organization is using secure ID cards from Payne
Security to authenticate its official street-based collectors and make it harder
for fraudsters to attempt to collect in their name.

Like many other charities, The Gorilla Organization uses volunteer collectors in
large cities to ask for cash donations.

[Payne Security](http://www.payne-security.com) developed a card design that combines
security devices with graphics that support the charity’s branding. The design includes
photographic personalisation of the cardholder and a forest effect created using
fine line printing, whose intricate patterns are hard to replicate. The reverse 
of the card includes information about The Gorilla Organization’s activities.

Sam Davies of The Gorilla Organization said: “It is vital that we safeguard the 
public from fraud and ensure that all donated money is given to our official collectors.
We are delighted that Payne Security has been able to provide a card solution that
enhances our corporate image as well as providing secure authentication of genuine
charity workers.”
