ACH Processing can help your grassroots fundraising campaign

Reach More Donors; save on credit card costs

Are you getting the most out of your web-based or telephone-based grassroots fundraising campaign? If your only method of payment is credit card, then the answer is probably "no." Many of your potential donors may be among the 75 million US consumers who do not have access to a credit card. Why not give them an option to donate by electronic check?

Additionally, why not suggest to your regular donors that, "To make your donation go further, please choose to donate via electronic check." If they are donating, then they probably care about your organization, and they would rather see you pay a very low transaction fee for an ACH donation instead of 2.4% for a credit card donation.

And you can bump up your collections even more by offering recurring donation plans. Maybe an annual $100 donation is too much for some of your constituents, but $10 a month might be more reasonable for them. And that's more money for your good work.
