 Would it be wrong to give to Planned Parenthood if... |
Link |
you did so through PayPal and you donated $.29 cents and PayPal receives $.30 per donation?
I was reading PayPal's material and they charge that for US 501-C3 transactions. The problem is that I read elsewhere that PayPal was listed as an organization that matched Planned Parenthood donations. So maybe donations of 1 cent would be more effective. If they donate to Planned Parenthood, they may end up not charging them, which could lead to a net evil effect. Maybe a less powerful evil 'charity' would be better for this approach.

| They match it to an extent. I remember local Ministry would say give now because we have matching funds until December 31. What I didn’t tell the members was the matching phone was only up to $10,000 so anything above 10,000 just was not matched. That could be the case with This.It is a marketing ploy |

If ten million people each gave one cent to planned parenthood, could they end up paying hundreds of thousands in fees to PayPal, minus whatever match they give?
I have gotten a request for funds from a different organization where I thought, I wish there was some way I could help them have less money rather than give to them. This might be a way to do it without stealing. PayPal matching donations is a concern.
Another way to do it is to get on their donors mailing list and get a business reply mail envelope from them where they have to pay for mail you send back, then fill it with a thick sheet of lead just smaller than the envelope and mail it back to them.

If the amount sent is less than PayPal's fee (2.2% + $0.30), PayPal takes what is available and the recipient doesn't get anything. If you sent someone a penny, PayPal would take a penny, and they would not receive anything.
PayPal also reviews transactions and reserves the right to cancel/decline them. |
