[FreeGeek] on-line donations

[wolfe]

Funny this you should be asking about this. i just sent a request for a
report on this very subject that provides reviews for non-profits for
free on donation systems online, there are 26 or 27 in the report that
offer systems for donations, paypal is one one of them.

Northern Oracle's needs are different then freegeeks so it is unlikely
that the two would end up with the same system, but I will forward the
information to you when I get it.
