Hi Chris,

Could you provide a few more details? Are these donations you want to collect for the wilderness away camp, and do you want to process them directly through your website (as you're doing now with PayPal)? I see you state on your website that "funds will be used as needed where needed." As a 501(c)3 do you make available the details of how you have used funds in the past? Are you unhappy with the way you're doing this donation collection now through PayPal, and if so, what problems are you running into?

Cheers, --Chris.

PayPal is doing OK, however being a non-profit we are trying to cut cost where ever we can. I didn't know what other non-profits are using at this time. I am looking for the best deal to receive donations. I would like people to be able to donate on our website but also to be able to donate on my emails that I send out with VR.

I have recently switched from PayPal to Network for Good to Acceptiva. This is what I like about Acceptiva:
lower % of sale charged
great reports
daily deposits to my account
excellent customer support
they create my pages for me!
multiple pages available for no additional fee
