PayPal Giving Fund vs Donate Button?

Help please! My company joined the PayPal Giving Fund to accept donations for our non-profit. I'm wondering about best practices. Should I use a regular PayPal donate button which has a better interface but I can't tell if it's connected to the Giving Fund, or should I use a custom button that sends visitors directly to the PayPal Giving Fund Donation page for our non profit, where they can make a donation?

ANSWER: I asked a few friends and the recommended answer is:

 

Use a custom button and link directly to the non-profit's PayPal Giving Fund page.

We're deciding this right now, but it looks like the Giving Fund page for our charity doesn't give donors any option to include a note with the donation, which is a huge problem for us because so many people like to make a donation in honor or memory of someone. So either they donate to us through the fund with no fees, but they can't tell us who it's for, or we pay fees and have access to notes... Seems like a weird tradeoff.
