collecting for missions work

[missions]

Do you have to have a non-profit organization set up in order to take donations?

We are doing some missions work and several have offered to make a donation to help off-set the cost.  Can we post a pay pal account to make it easier for people to donate?  Or are "donations" only for non-profit groups?

If it does not work this way, do you have a suggestion as to how we CAN use pay pal for those contributions?

Thank you

Hi I'm not sure if you still need assistance but anyone can accept donations you could look into

http://www.whatgives.com/shift-tools-to-help-your-non-profit/ if you are a non profit.

or

http://fundrazr.com/ for everyone else

if you want to get something on Facebook.

For a website or email you can also use the Donation button which is located under the Merchant Services tab of your PayPal account.
