Great to see such an active forum for NPOs.
In the UK we can boost the value of donations, including membership subscriptions, using "Gift Aid". The donor makes a declaration (can be a tick box) confirming they are a UK tax payer, and allowing the NPO to receive the 'before tax' value of their donation - ie £10 becomes £13 roughly.
It would be great to see a donation component that handled this effectively, and produced the (fairly simple) records required by Inland Revenue to reclaim the Gift Aid.
I don't have the skills or the time to do this! Just wanted to flag it so if any one was developing such a component they were aware of Gift Aid.
We (http://www.che.ac.uk) currently use the donation service provided by Charities Aid Foundation and GiveNow.org.
