Re: Donation Button - Follow-up

[John Jones <100h@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

Assuming I can make room on the right side of the home page for another hot spot, It is possible to establish a Paypal account for donations. I would need to investigate what their conditions are (e.g., 501 (c) (3) documentation.) It would be separate from either of the Paypal accounts we already have.

Also it would have to be done in conjunction with the AIS Foundation and might require that they have a separate checking account to make the deposits into. Regardless we would need a dedicated person on their side to manage the start up process (test deposits tot he account etc.) 

Thanks

John
