- Secure
server To do it yourself, you will need:
- Merchant account that
accepts card-not-present transactions

and technical expertise
Many ISPs can broker all
these services
- Online
pledging (no secure server, no credit cards)
- Giving
through an intermediary: Guidestar
Database of Charitable Organizations and Helping.org,
a nonprofit joint venture of the AOL and Benton Foundations, the Red
Cross, and others, to make it possible to give online to any organization
registered with the IRS as a nonprofit organization. An promising
intermediate step for the small nonprofit.
(See
helping.org in action for the Richard
III Society. I won't mind if you make a gift...)
