How can nonprofits process payments or accept donations?

With a cloud-based fundraising CRM integrated with payment processing, like DonorPerfect and SafeSave, nonprofits can accept donations online, over the phone, through virtual events, and in person.

Do nonprofits have to pay credit card fees?

Payment processors typically charge transaction fees for credit card donations. However, nonprofit-focused solutions like SafeSave with DonorPerfect often provide lower rates and options like “donor covers the cost” to help reduce these fees.

How can nonprofits collect donations at virtual events?

Using a payment processor that syncs with your fundraising CRM, such as SafeSave and DonorPerfect, allows nonprofits to accept donations through online forms before, during, and after events, handle phone donations, and manage auction payments in real time.

How do I activate my SafeSave account?

Current DonorPerfect customers simply need to complete the form to activate SafeSave .
