Would love to donate to such projects (and already have, but you sound neat too).
- songzme 9y agoThanks for the support! Would love to share donation link but it has not been set up yet :)
- exikyut 9y ago(Moral of story: don't announce genuinely amazing new initiatives without taking the time to get the donation links working first!) Curious how/why something like PayPal/Stripe integration couldn't be done in a short amount of time. Not as a criticism, just "is this actually technically hard?" (or is it just a time issue?)
- songzme 9y ago1. I was genuinely sharing what I did this year, was not hoping for any positive financial outcomes. 2. Integration with non-profits donations is not trivial. After registering as a non-profit, it takes some time for the list of registered non-profits to propagate through to donation tools (facebook, gofundme, etc). Sometimes, I have to fax in documents to prove legitimacy, and it takes a few days for that to process. I could easily create a gofundme for "help me do x" in my name instead of the non-profit's, but I didn't want to do that. Hope that clears things up.
- danenania 9y agoCheck out givelively.org for (free) Stripe-based nonprofit fundraising and payment tools. I used to work there and they are doing a great job simplifying the process. I'm happy to put you in touch with the team if it's helpful.
- songzme 9y agogivelively.org is amazing. Signed up and would love to be put in touch. song garagescript org
- exikyut 9y agoI see. Thanks for the clarification, very interesting.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoIf at all possible, let me respectfully suggest you make that a priority. I realize with an NPO it is a bit more complicated than for an individual.
- songzme 9y agoThank you, I'm on the same page. And you are correct that NPO takes longer and is a more complicated process, but we are diligently working to make it happen.
