Having been involved with non-profit work (and being president of one such organization), my suspicion here is that this is not a large foundation with a significant permanent paid staff. In such cases, people do the organization work when they have enough free time, and there are periods (usually between board meetings) when correspondence starts to pile up. I think what triggered our success was when I started e-mailing and faxing other contact people within the organization, which probably helped get their attention. I'm glad we've established contact.
Meryl:
I've figured out that, after conversion fees and PayPal fees, we have $1,256.98 in total donations to contribute to the Wirrpanda Foundation. However, I need to transfer some money into my PayPal account to have enough to send. This is because some of it came to me in cash and checks. This will take 3-5 days to transfer from my checking account.
Meanwhile, I'm not sure how to effect the actual PayPal transaction. There is no mention of PayPal on the actual donation form on the website. They mention something called BPAY and give an account number, but PayPal asks only for an email or phone number when you say you want to send money.
Phillip, do you think it will be sufficient to enter their email? I don't want the funds to go astray. I might wait til all the funds are available and try a test run for $10.00 and see if it goes through. I'll fill out the donation form and fax it so they have all our info. Did you get charged for your faxes?
Ellemeno:
Thank you again Meryl, for figuring out the mechanics of it all.
j.U.d.E.:
Thank you Meryl! I hope you'll manage with the transfer! Keep us posted.
