Looks like some good stuff.

They are connected to candahelps so are probably trying to drive business into that space.

Canada helps  takes 3.9% to 5% off the top for processing fees.  You must be a registered charity. 

indiegogo takes 4% .  Legal as long as just a donation with no implication of tax receipt.  (ie, cannot be used for investing, etc.) Has campaign driven programs with perks, a lot like kickstarter but can be used for religious organizations.

Paypal takes 2.9 % plus .30c / transaction 

of course, there are lots of options.

For sure lots of options pinga.  Our church site is uses a Canada Helps donation button & some donations have been received that way.  CH issues the tax receipts directly to the donor & donations can be issues "annonymously" to the charity - which some prefer - but they still get their tax receipt. 

Better than doing a pass-through donation with United Way. They takea 15% cut if I remember correctly. Didn't do it again, after I chased that # down.

Google Analytics one would be interesting, from a futures, but also from a privacy. It is interesting how google is replacing government type data analysis (who remembers the government cutting the long form census)

we have some google analytics stats from our presbytery website - I have to admit I'm not very good at understanding or interpreting the data - so I hope for a lesson!

Carolla, if you attend any of these, can you let me know how they were?

Yes I will pinga - was not able to tune in this week - but they do post the slides to archives, so I will check there next week.
