I just set up a donation site for our city's human services
foundation
via Donor Town Square, a third party processor.
http://ww
w.donortownsquare.com/dtshome.aspx The library's Friends
Foundation will likely use the same service (not yet set
up). For legal
and accounting reasons, it's useful to have a third party to
do some
recordkeeping, etc. The price is *very* reasonable (I think
we had like
a $10 setup fee, with a small monthly charge on a percentage
basis) and
so far their service has been good.
Be sure to run any choice by your library's attorney (city
attorney,
university attorney) and any accounting people you have.
You want to be
sure you're not violating any 501(3)c non-profit regulations
or similar.
We had to make some adjustments to *where* the money was
going in order
to keep in line with that.
