Donations and Fundraising Resources

[PayPal_Frank]

Hi everyone,

Accepting donations online is easy! It doesn't take very much time to set up when using PayPal or a PayPal compatible donation services. The purpose of this post is to include links to information that will help you explore some of the best solutions for your fundraising needs.

Before I get to the good stuff, please remember that posts soliciting donations or other requests for monetary contributions will be removed per the Community Help Forum Rules and Guidelines.  While the Community Help Forum isn't the appropriate venue for requesting donations, we do want to make sure that any person seeking to collect donations with PayPal has the information they need to get started. 🙂

So here we go:

Most of the following information can be referenced from these pages:

Collect donations for a Nonprofit on eBay using eBay Giving Works powered by the PayPal Giving Fund

 How does it work?

Any eBay seller can commit to donate a percentage of their listing's final sale price to the nonprofit of their choice. To find sellers using eBay Giving Works, search on this page http://givingworks.ebay.com or click: here.

How can your Nonprofit use this service?

Nonprofits can reach a new audience, strengthen ties with their existing donor base, and take their fundraising to the next level. Signing up for eBay Giving Works is easy and free, and every 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit is eligible to participate. The first step is to get certified by the PayPal Giving Fund. There is no annual fee for nonprofits to use eBay Giving Works.

eBay Giving Works also enables Nonprofits to sell their own items on eBay as well.
