I think the "community campaign", perhaps yearly, model that a number of
organisations use is actually a good one -it focusses people's minds into
actually pressing that button and donating & provides a hook to reach out to
new people ...

Hi All,
Thanks for your ongoing thoughts on this.
We have found no up-and-running, "clean" way to gather donations. The visa and
paypal button is the portal to a pervasive network- and that is where the
problems lie. There are some good starts in thinking about this here
http://www.dyndy.net/bank/
...and we will be keeping our ears open- so do tell if you find things.
Our approach will be 3-fold once the new website goes live.
For the first 2 options, our focus will be to raise money to run and develop
the website. So we will be asking people for money and feedback: )
1) The first is Visa and Paypal-free! (for the donor at least) - We will be
asking people to send their old mobile phones to us- we will then send them off
to be green-recycled for cash!
2) We will probably have a Paypal button for straight donations too : (
3) for project funding http://www.kickstarter.com/ looks good. This uses the
amazon visa payment mechanism. Donors only make the payment if the amount
pledged reaches its goal.
This is also an interesting micro-payment facility- not quite right for us at
the moment though it could be in the future if we start to organised
differently http://flattr.com/
Cheers!
Ruth
