What are the benefits of accepting credit cards for direct donations both online and offline?
Credit or charge card contributions via the Internet are a cost effective way for nonprofits to receive donations. Accepting cards can improve your cash flow because funds will be deposited in your account quicker than waiting for a check to be cleared or deposited. Credit cards may reduce your administrative costs because your staff will spend less time processing checks and following up on unfulfilled pledges. Finally, accepting credit cards may help you raise more donations because it makes it easier and more convenient for potential donors to contribute. * To be eligible to redeem Membership Rewards points for a donation, your donation must be made using an eligible American Express Card enrolled in the Membership Rewards program. Terms, conditions and restrictions of the Membership Rewards program apply. For more information, visit www.membershiprewards.com.
