Hello community. I recently stepped in to help my Elementary School PTA. We are currently fundraising to support a staff luncheon and have asked all the students to donate between $3 and $5. I've received many inquiries as to why we can't accept electronic payment via Paypal since the school has it established and I was told because the donation amounts are so small the transaction fees erode the benefit. Given the decline of cash and checks in the world, I'm worried we won't get as many donations as we would in the past if we don't find a way to provide an electronic payment option. I believe Paypal reduces the transaction fees for non profits, but is it possible to reduce even further or eliminate them in situations like this? Any help would be appreciated as our teachers and staff are working harder than ever and we'd like to recognize them appropriately.
