Today, because I’m feeling lazy as sin, I’m going to put up another short video that shows how our social networking features work. Most of our clients are already including these on their DonationPay pages, but if you’re not and you’d like to, give us a holler! The demo is on the page of one [...]
This holiday season, we’ll be showcasing some of the innovative ways our clients are using our service by taking a quick tour through their DonationPay pages to showcase particularly awesome features. We’re so proud to support all of our client’s fundraising efforts this holiday and at any time of year. Today, I’m starting with pages [...]
So I’ve now written quite a few words on how Astia and it’s dynamic community have impacted us here at DonationPay, but I haven’t talked specifically about the other business owners I encountered during the workshop week.

Even though in most places it still feels like full summer (or worse- sorry, Texas), you should already be making serious efforts to get your donation page and process [...]
All right folks, DonationPay has now successfully moved to our new offices in Berkeley California- we’re thrilled to be a part of the Bay Area business community and we’re looking forward to working with more awesome non-profits in the area. Farewell, Seattle, you will be missed- though, the weather. . . not so much. Because [...]
Viral videos, as a topic of conversation, can leave a bit of an unpleasant taste in my mouth.
