They may actually not have a choice. My wife is a lawyer who does a lot of work with non-profits, and maintaining non-profit status can require jumping through a lot of legal hoops. A quick google suggests GBCA is a 501(c)3 non-profit, so it's very possible that adding a gateway in front of a donation that is tax deductible may create some legal risk (real or perceived), or be outright not allowed by current laws.
- phonon 11y agoWhat the heck are you talking about? Fundraising expenses and overhead are totally ordinary and expected for non-profits. Obviously if it would be very high, it's problematic (as percentage of donations going to program expenses would low--think hiring a fundraiser, and giving them 50% of every dollar they bring in.), but a ~2% credit card processing is unexceptional.
