Non Profits

In 2011, the success of your association and its ability to evangelize—and yes, even monetize, your mission is first and foremost about the relationship you have with your donors. The higher the trust factor, the broader the appeal and the easier it is for them to contribute to you the very first time will quickly differentiate your non-profit’s mission from everyone else’s. 

By partnering with a payment processor whose history of advocacy in card-not-present transactions has become increasingly important to non-profit organizations, we can help you to effectively respond to each of these challenges, beginning with those donor relationships. Our innovation, insights and experience not only can result in a deeper pool of recurring donors, but also the opportunity and ability to facilitate, manage and grow your donor base. As a result your donor acquisition costs are kept in check as sustainer revenue grows quarter to quarter and year-over-year.

We understand the efficiencies of integrated reporting, timely and consistent settlement and having outstanding turnaround time on your authorizations. We allow you to offer the widest variety of payment types and options to pay AND we give you the flexibility to foster relationships that fit the needs of both your association as well as your donors. This includes accepting Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB (Japanese Credit Bureau), Diners Club as well as alternative payments such as eCheck and PayPal.

We also understand that in the nonprofit-CNP environment that these transactions need some extra tender loving care so we specialize in:

Recurring Billing Excellence. Non-profits that solicit online need smooth, seamless recurring billing. Litle & Co.’s payment management engines include some of the most advanced recurring billing logic available today.  We’ll give you the best tools available that help you minimize billing interruptions which create additional donor demands such as additional and largely unnecessary donor outreach.

Interchange Management. A single Interchange rate does not exist for non-profit organizations.  A single discount rate never benefits you because the process cannot anticipate what your mix of debit, standard credit and rewards cards will be. So they have to guess.  If they error at all they are going to error on their side. As a non-profit you deserve the best rates in the industry and with Litle that’s exactly what you’ll have.In fact,we always pass through the exact interchange rate for which the transaction qualified. No hassle. No games. No negotiation. And no surprises.

Dynamic Reporting.  All the intelligence you need — in a format that makes life easy for you. Benchmarking and analysis that helps you understand how your processing performs. Rich analytics that can tell you which forms of payment are working best for you — as well as your donors.

Account Updater. For your most valued donors (those who are sustainers or on a recurring billing or installment cycle basis), Account Updater enables you to receive updated credit card information without having to contact each donor individually.

Affluence Indicators. Affluence indicators analyze the buying habits of affluent cardholders within your donor base. By collecting and analyzing this data you can more efficiently target those donors who are more likely to have both the buying power, or disposable income, and the willingness to donate.

Ease of Transition. Our systems are designed to be easy to use. We support most other payment processors’ specifications and have connectivity to most third party telemarketing, fulfillment and list vendors. So whether you are just starting up or have a current processor in place, we are prepared to handle your every requirement.

As a non-profit you already qualify for the lowest possible interchange rate. Let Litle analyze your rates to make sure you’re getting every dollar you’re entitled to in order to help you maximize donations while minimizing overhead.
