How to Collect Donations Online

There are a lot of websites that you can use to collect donations online. However, most of them have at least one reason you should think twice before using them:

  • They are expensive (5%-20% of the money that you collect)
  • They require monthly fees ($20-$30 a month)
  • They require contracts and initial setup fees
  • They are hard to use and difficult to set up
  • They hold on to your money for weeks or months

All of these things may not be a problem if you are a large organization or charity collecting money from hundreds or thousands of people.

But what if you just want to collect donations from from a few of your friends or other people in your network? Even larger clubs and organizations don’t want to go through the trouble of setting up accounts, signing contracts, and paying a fortune just to collect donations online.
