A few chapters have begun taking advantage of PayPal's ability to accept donations on the chapter's behalf. The process is fairly straightforward, and we haven't heard from any chapters that they encountered difficulties in setting things up. This could be a great way to generate some additional chapter revenue. Please see the steps below:
- First, use your chapter's bank account to set up a PayPal account: How to Set Up a Nonprofit Account (👈🏼 all of the directions can be found here).
- Then, get your chapter confirmed as a PayPal-confirmed charity to receive the discounted rate.
- From inside the PayPal dashboard, they have a really user-friendly widget to create a donation page. Check out CSTA Alabama's!
- Use the embed code to embed a donate button on your MemberNova website (Donate Button on the CSTA Alabama website).
Step two asks for supporting documentation, please use the attached two documents to support your status as part of a non-profit group exemption. You'll have to upload a chapter bank statement as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here.
