Hi Hallie,
Thanks for the reply, we've actually tried this but have not seen much traction so I am trying to see if there are other options out there I might not be considering.
I appreciate your response, hope you have a great week ahead!

Could you set up a custom link with the charitable organizations so that your attendees contribute directly to the organizations rather than your company collecting the funds?
I did this with Red Cross and they gave us a unique link to provide our attendee donors and were then able to track our group's total contributions.

Hi Everyone,
Here at IEEE we are interested in collecting donations for various foundations/organizations, however, we are struggling with the collection of funds. Since we can only link on merchant processor per event, we link the direct conference bank account for registration revenue. However, it's an accounting challenge to deposit donations into the individual account to then reverse charge the donation.
Has anyone here utilized another methods for donation collection? We are exploring a pop-up of sorts to prevent registrants from leaving the registration process. Would love to hear your feedback.
Thanks!
