Hello there fellow Hackers. I'm working on a non-profit and I was wondering if any of you have any experience to share about it. The site is to help with abandoned animals.

I was wondering how do you handle donations (stripe?) and what is the best way to keep up with the costs of maintenance.

There are sites like couchsurfing.com that are desperately asking for users to pay (disguised as a verified validation) but I don't want to do anything similar to that.

Cheers!
