Long term it might not be that viable because as charities realize that people don&#8217;t want to be begged for more money, especially in paper mail while knowing what it cost to send those paper mailings.<\/p>\n<p>I would suggest limiting the size of financial transactions through such a system to $2500 or so, to avoid a whole host of problems, including the one Centauri mentions in his comment below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a business idea for you enterprising types.
