Re: [ga] Individuals Constituency fund

["William X. Walsh" <william@userfriendly.com>]

Hello Andrew,

While I appreciate the sentiment, the cost of the donations are rather
using that system.

If someone trustworthy (such as yourself) wants to setup a fund like
this, I'd consider http://www.kagi.com/

For donations of $20USD or more, the cost is 12.5%, and for larger
donations can be as low as 4.1%.

The kagi process fees are at:

(No special account required for people to make a donation via Kagi
either)

Kagi started off as a shareware/software payment service, but offers
services for organization to receive donations, and more as well.

Just an idea for you to consider.
