I'm glad to hear that. I suppose it would depend a lot on the particular organization(s) you are dealing with. Loaves and Fishes is non denominational Christian so we naturally deal a lot with other groups. I find that for the most part they are as diverse in their objectives as a slew of companies on the NYSE. Some will be gung-ho on soliciting donations and others will be content to accept what is offered without a lot of hoopla. We're sort of like e-gold in that we'll deal with everybody but we don't advertise much except to send a monthly newsletter to our regular donors. This is not a plug but we have accepted things like cars, boats, stocks, e-gold, old clothes and used furniture. If you want to get a good corporate view of charitable organizations I suggest you visit GuideStar http://www.guidestar.org/index.jsp. You can check the financials of just about any non-profit org. and get more info if the organization is registered with them. They also handle both sides of the equation donor/donee on a large scale. Looking up info is free. By the way, I 'm not overly concerned with this debit card thing but it sure would make things a lot easier. If I was in a position to do so it would be #1 on my list having something to do with the shortest distance between two points. I'm reall surprised that more of the market makers don't offer this option. I really don't see any other way to go (foward that is). Hope this helps.
