Using Venmo to accept donations (non-"beta")

  • 1.  Using Venmo to accept donations (non-"beta")

    A number of our alumni are interested in making Annual Fund contributions using Venmo. We have looked at the Venmo site, and there is a note posted there about them no longer “accepting applications from non-profits” at this time. However, some schools seem to accept Venmo payments. Does anyone have experience accepting Venmo payments, and if so, how do you set up an account to receive them? Our understanding is that it is usually tied to an individual. Also, how do you ensure you can record donor information to comply with tax law and provide tax receipts to donors?
