If you already use Dwolla, click here to donate to PeopleCount with Dwolla.
Dwolla allows you to pay directly from your checking account, and is cheaper than paying with other methods. It's free to send money or request payment, free to receive payments of $10 or less, and costs only 25 cents to receive larger amounts. Compare this to Paypal, below:
| Donation | Paypal amount | Paypal percent |
Dwolla amount | Dwolla percent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | $0.32 | 32% | 0 | 0% |
| $10 | $0.59 | 5.9% | 0 | 0% |
| $20 | $0.88 | 4.4% | 0.25 | 1.3% |
| $100 | $3.20 | 3.2% | 0.25 | 0.13% |
The downside of Dwolla is that you'll need your checking account information (routing number) to set up your account, and will need to verify it after a couple of days, and then you need to return here to use the link at the top to complete the donation. After your account is set up, paying or receiving payments with Dwolla is fast and easy.
Donations are not tax-deductible. We are a California benefit corporation, so our explicit purpose is to benefit society, but we are not a 5013(c), not a charity, so donations are not tax deductible.
Please, if you set up your Dwolla account and they've fixed their set-up system to let you schedule the donation when you register, or add the funding source as part of the registration process, please let us know. (April 19, 2013).
