Reduce Credit Card Processing Fees For Your Charity or Non Profit

If your charity or non profit needs or wants to accept credit card payments, it’s never been easier to do so. There are many ways to accept credit cards. For instance, if payments include donations made over the phone, on-site registration fees at your next conference, or purchases at a booth, gift shop, or event, Canada-First has the perfect solution for you.

Cut Costs For Your Charity or Non Profit

.Charities and non profit organizations understand how important it is to cut costs at every turn. In other words, when funds are limited, so are resources. However, there are many ways to save money. For instance, one way that many charities and non profit organizations don’t think of, is reducing their credit card processing fees.

Because being able to accept donations is the lifeblood of a charity or non profit, the fact that the days of cash donations are long past has a profound impact on fundraising. Similarly, credit and debit cards are the preferred method of payment for many people, especially if those cards offer some sort of reward for doing so. In addition, the automated nature of card payments can mean lighter administrative workloads (less time spent opening mail, making trips to the bank to deposit funds, etc.), which has a positive effect on any organization’s bottom line.

In conclusion and fortunately, if you are a charity or non profit organization, you can lower your credit card processing fees considerably. How? Simply by asking for the special charitable organization rate. However, you’ll have to provide proof of your Revenue Canada charitable status.
