"With research showing that online payment plans increase donations, generate more revenue sooner, and improve patron relations; we decided it was time for Literacy Volunteers of Somerset County to move in that direction," said Beth Ybarra, Director of Development and Marketing for LVSC.

"We had all the right components - an informational website, great fundraising events, and our base of supporters, however, we were missing one important piece, the ability to process online donations/payments, an option that today's consumers expect," added Ybarra.

"The switch was seamless," said Ybarra. "From a set-up perspective, it was very simple. We have received great feedback on the new donation option."

LVSC, like other non-profit organizations including churches and schools, can add more options for annual events and periodic fundraising campaigns during the year.
