Donations with email address only?

Hello!  I am in the process of trying to set up a nonprofit account for a support organization for a museum/art gallery.  This seems like a common sense answer, but I want to be certain before I set up the account.  I'm wondering if you can accept donations without having a donate button, or even a text link?  Is it like personal accounts, where all you need is an email in order to send funds?  Or do you have to have a clickable donate button?

Hi Sarcolli,

 

Welcome to the forums! Thanks for sharing your question with the community!

 

There isn't a place in Send Money to designate a payment as a donation. You would need to offer the button or text link to allow people to send donations to your account.

Thank you!  That is what I needed to know. The problem I have is that the organization does not currently have a website, and are not likely to get one any time soon (unless I can convince them to set one up for this, but that's doubtful).  So I wasn't sure if there was another way to go about it.  I'll have to rethink my options!
