[Nfb-web] Accepting Donations Online

[Michael Hansen]

Joshua,

The NFB of Nebraska uses Pay Pal.

Here are the guidelines that we have tried to abide buy. I typed these
up for the NFB webmasters group website.

----------------
This is a list of best practices when it comes to Paypal accounts

1. A chapter or Affiliate account should be a Paypal Business account.
There is no additional charge for this type of account (it is still
free) and it gives you the ability to be recognized by the name of
your organization and not the name of the person who is the primary
contact on the account.

2. The NFB has the bank statements for all Affiliate bank accounts
sent to the National Office. For this reason 1800 Johnson St.
Baltimore, MD should be setup as an alternate postal address in Pay
Pal. This is because the mailing address in Pay Pal needed to match
the one on our bank statements. This being said keep the primary
mailing address something local in your area.

3. You might consider making the primary email address in the account
(the one statements and other communications are sent to) a
distribution list that forwards emails to both your State President
and State Treasure.

4. Only the President and Treasure should have full access into the
Pay Pal account. A Paypal Business account allows you to setup
additional logins with limited access. A states webmaster for instance
will want one of these so they can get in and setup Pay Pal shopping
carts on your website and so on.

5. Since someone has to be the official primary contact on the
account, It is recommend that this be your Treasure. If at sometime
you get a new Treasure there is a formal Paypal process to change this
just like there is on a bank account.

These concepts are not ment to hinder the operation of your
organization but to ensure that the assets of our organization are
always handled properly.
