There are several very good donation processing services available to nonprofit organizations. And over the years, charities have usually accepted the rather high processing fees as the “cost of doing business.” However, there may be a more cost-effective avenue for nonprofits to receive credit card donations: online, via a (PC) plug-in reader, or from a traditional credit card terminal.
There’s a lesser-known donation processing service called AffiniPay that has really caught my eye. What grabbed my attention was their processing fee of only 2.19% (plus twenty cents per item). And if you compare that to, let’s say, Qgiv.com’s transaction fee of 3.95% (plus twenty-five cents per item), along with Qgiv’s hefty start-up cost and monthly fee, the AffiniPay option shines.
I’ve compared three of the largest donation processing services to that of AffiniPay: Qgiv, Network for Good and good-ol' PayPal. The end results just might impress you.

A new era has developed where social media, including web and mobile technologies, have turned communication into an interactive dialogue, surpassing the days when telephone, letters, and in-person communication were the conventional ways to interact. Today, we can have social interaction no matter where we are in the world with just a mobile smart phone. We are moving into a generation where social media is taking over and changing the way in which we communicate. How can we use this new and expanding resource to promote and advance the world of nonprofit organizations?

You’d think that selecting a decent webhosting service provider (webhost) would be as simple as, well, choosing a new laptop – or even a washing machine for that matter. But the simple, somewhat bizarre, truth is: it’s not. It’s truly maddening. No wonder webhost customers would rather endure overpriced and under-serviced accounts rather than roll the dice to find a better one.

Although nonprofits have been hurting like the rest of us during these past few years, 2010 saw a significant increase in online giving. According to Blackbaud (they’re the big dogs when it comes to nonprofit consulting) 2010 Giving Report year-over-year growth was 34.5% compared to 2009. And, the percentage of total fundraising that comes from online giving has grown to 7.6%.
