    Online Contributions & Donations
    
    A potentially beneficial way to receive contributions is by allowing your supporters to make a donation online by credit card or other means.by There are a number of sites that offer this service to not for profit groups so that your supporters can contribute online. You can also provide this service through your own site. Most of the sites that offer the service charge a fee for doing the processing. We have seen fees as high as 15%. Accepting credit card contributions through your own site can be far cheaper, but there are still significant costs involved and the need to administer and maintain the service. There are alternatives you may wish to consider.
    • Network for Good (formerly Helping.org) , for varying fee levels, offers a number of fund raising services to non-profits. They also have links to other services of possible interest to the non-profit community.

    • PayPal is a commercial service that allows you to receive credit card payments. The service is "free" for credit card payments made to you and also allows you to make credit card payments for a reasonable per transaction fee. Click on the PayPal logo to go to their site to learn more and sign up for their service.
      
      
      
    CAUTION
    
    The issue of whether or not an organization needs to be registered in every state in which they solicit contributions is not clear. Some experts say this is required. Others say an organization only needs to be registered in the state in which they are organized. We and Helping.org both recommend that you review this issue with your legal advisor before using this or any other service to solicit online contributions by credit card or other means.
