Non profit Fund raisers

If you are a non-profit organization, you can use online resources to setup a quick way to accept money. Donors can pay by credit card or online bank account checks. It is safe and convenient and it reduces a lot of hassle for the donors.

Here are a few resources for you:

Make sure your messaging is clear, your organization mission succinct and clearly articulate how the money you are raising will be used. Donor frustration is really high with most non-profit websites who miss this clarity test. Here are some resources to drive the point home: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/nonprofit-donations.html

Don’t turn away your donors, make the “donate now” button as easy to use and hassle free as possible – avoid having long registration process.
