Got any way of taking electronic payments? I don't even have a checkbook anymore.
Thats funny because I'm kind of the donation cop. Our goal is to help kids who's parents really do not have the money to buy hearing aids but people will try to get free money when they could buy them on their own. We get alot of referals from doctors working with kids who know the situation and the childs needs and we only give the checks to the equipment provider. No we do not have a way to take electronic payment. Sorry.

Does the organization not have a bank account?

Why not use Paypal or something? Shame to not take money because nobody put in a few minutes to make it possible.

Most of our donations are from companies and they write checks but no one thought about smaller donations from individuals. We talked about opening up paypal account for ticket sales but for some reason we decided not to do that. This is only our third year for this event so I'll add that to my list of things for next year. We do a golf outing also which pretty much runs itself and this event is still in its building stages so we are still learning.

Best wishes, if you guys need any web work done I'll help free of charge.

Open up that paypal account, it doesn't cost anything and there doesn't always need to be an event to accept money you know?

This is the only web site we have. Our golf event is over 20 yrs old and it fills up pretty quick so no advertising is needed. That event alone raises around 16,000 to 18,000. Its probably a good idea for the club to have its own web page and we could just have out event stuff there and have a place where people could donate through paypal. It would make alot of sense to have one centeral site for everything. The best pert about that is I know no one would ask me to run that or have anything do do with a web page. My computers skills are about as good as my spelling.
