Does donate.net require donors to register before they can donate? Will donate.net redirect my donor to similar organizations or solicit my donor to make donations to other organizations? Does donate.net withhold donor information from me?

No, No, No! donate.net does not, and will never, register donors into a general data base to sell to third parties. We maintain a data base of your patrons for your use only. Be cautious of firms telling you registering your donors into their data base will drive more people to your site. It doesn't work that way.

At donate.net we do not believe it is good for your donors, or your organization, to be redirected to other organizations, or to be tracked and solicited by a third party.
