Thanks, but I don’t know what the $2.00 processing fee is referring to? That sounds like a misunderstanding somewhere to me. It might amount to a $2.00 - $3.00 fee on a hundred dollar donation, but otherwise credit card processing fees are a relatively small percentage, usually in the neighborhood of three percent or so. Maybe a little higher on smaller donations through paypal, because I think they have a fixed fee per transaction element as part of their rate which might drive it up to 4% or more on a small donation. And we have an estimate for the credit card and bank processing fees factored into our budget anyway.
I would like to avoid advertising if at at possible due to its many drawbacks. I’d also like to avoid going commercial at all if possible. I think it would change the nature of our grassroots conservative activist organization.
The $2 processing fee was mentioned by someone upthread. If that is not the case, that is helpful to know. Thanks.
