Hi Jess. I have been thinking about adding a donate button, too.
 
I was wondering - what do your members get in return for membership, and how much does it cost? I would like to start charging a membership fee and would love advice on this.
 
Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've been wondering about how effective "donate" buttons (like Google Checkout for Non-profits) are on project websites.  Our cooperative has many active members, but also many sympathetic supporters, who would potentially donate to the cause without seeking membership (we have an annual membership fee which supports our operating costs).  Right now the only way to donate is to come down to the shop or mail us a check.

For those co-ops who use online donations, are they very effective for A)renewing memberships and B)getting support from non-members?
Thanks!
