Introduction
The Modern Nonprofit Challenge
Running a nonprofit is a rewarding but challenging mission. One of the biggest hurdles? Accepting donations easily. Many nonprofits still rely on outdated systems or complicated forms that frustrate potential donors. If giving feels like a chore, most people simply won’t do it.
Why Streamlining Donations Matters
A seamless donation process encourages more people to give and give more often. If it’s fast, mobile-friendly, and intuitive, donors are far more likely to follow through. That’s where Square Donations steps in, helping nonprofits simplify donations and improve fundraising outcomes.
