I will keep checking the Paypal angle, but I have a feeling they will want me to set up a bank account. Maybe that's not too expensive. I'll call now. Dave

I understand that, and I have no doubt that it will go where it needs to go. I was pointing out an angle that always comes up when it comes to personal checks.

OK, Paypal may be on again. I spoke with Wells Fargo here in Albuquerque and as it turns out I can open a free checking account that is non-interest bearing, but it has to be in my name. The trust factor would have to come in by me posting the transaction history of the Paypal account from time to time, Then... I can setup a Paypal account that will transfer into this account when we are finished with the donations, but the 3% will still be charged. After all is said and done, I get one big bank check and donate it to the charity.

We can also have the option of folks sending checks in the charity's name directly to me, then I'll combine it all and send it (the one big bank check and all the personal checks in a registered envelope, with list and letter).

Anything I might be missing? Any legal or trust issues I'm not addressing? Please let me know.

Your bank should be able to give you all the advice you need which it seems they have. Great job Super Dave. I'm glad we could push this thing forward. I would love to make this an annual event and I would be more than happy to help run an annual FG fundraiser.

I'm glad to help. Hopefully the rest of FG feels the same.

Yea, me too, and I'm sure SuperDave feels the same.
