How To Get Donations Without Merchant Fees

Many online donations are subject to fees through companies like PayPal, who often take upwards of 3% of the donation for processing. This may seem like a huge deal for an online donation of, let’s say, $5, but if someone donates larger amounts, it adds up! We found a new online option that takes 0% fees.

The Fix!

Once you’ve created an emotional story, it’s time to use it to raise money for your cause. As the How-To video below shows, YouTube has generously created a way for viewers to donate while watching a video. You can embed this video into your donation page on your website, post it to your Facebook page, or email the link in your newsletter!
