INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you don't want to deal with setting up a merchant account, a third-party processor will use their merchant account to accept credit card donations on your behalf. You will be charged a processing fee by the third-party processor. Also, expect delays in transferring the money to your account. The fees charged by a third-party processor are typically a percentage of each transaction. Popular companies who work with nonprofits include Network for Good and Democracy in Action. These companies have centralized websites to which donors are referred. They not only provide credit card processing, but they also send acknowledgement notices to donors. Their acknowledgement communications include information about your nonprofit organization and your cause. PayPal also offers opportunities for nonprofits to accept donations online. They have a donate button that nonprofits can easily integrate into their websites. They also offer widgets that organizations can put on their social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. They offer low transaction fees for nonprofits, and they don't charge any set up or recurring monthly fees. To be eligible for this option with PayPal, an organization must have a documented 501(c)(3) status. Third-party processors are easy to set up and manage and inexpensive to maintain. If you go with a well-known company, you can have confidence that your transactions will be processed quickly and accurately. However, your name does not appear on financial transactions on the donor's credit card statement. Also, you should expect a delay of a few days before funds are transferred into your account.

SUMMARY: Choose a third-party processor. Find a third-party processor that specializes in working with nonprofits. Consider using PayPal. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of a third-party processor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you don't have the counter space for a large spiralizer, you can buy a small handheld one. Cut an apple into three or four large wedges. If you don't want to pick seeds out of the spiralized apple, you can remove the core. Use thin-skinned apples (such as Gala or Golden Delicious) for handheld spiralizers. Thick-skinned apples can easily clog the blades. Take a fork and stick it into the end of one large wedge. Hold the fork and stick the apple into the end of the spiralizer that has the blades. You don't have to use a fork to turn the apple, but a fork will make it easier to hold the apple. Hold the spiralizer over a bowl or dish. Turn the fork in a clockwise motion so the apple is pushed against the blades on the side of the spiralizer. The spiralized apple will fall into the bowl or dish.

SUMMARY: Cut the apple into wedges. Insert a fork into one of the wedges and place it in the spiralizer. Twist the fork to scrape the apple against the blades.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A stretch fabric works best for making leggings, so opt for a stretch jersey, spandex, rayon with lycra, or some other type of stretchy fabric. You will need about 2 to 3 yards (1.8 to 2.7m) of fabric depending on your size. If you are making leggings for a baby or toddler, then you will only need about 1 yard (0.91m) of fabric. For baby and toddler leggings, you can also use a printed t-shirt for fabric. Make sure it is a shirt that you are willing cut up. You can use an old t-shirt or buy one on clearance. To create the pattern for the leggings, you will also need a pair of old leggings that fit you (or the person who will wear the leggings). If the leggings are a little smaller than you want them to be, then you can draw outside of the edges of the leggings to make them larger. You will need a piece of elastic that is long enough to wrap around the waist of the person who will wear the leggings. You can opt for a narrow piece of elastic, such as a piece that is 0.5 inches (1.3cm) wide, or you can go with a wider piece, such as a piece that is 2 inches (5.1cm) wide. The elastic will be hidden in the waistband, so you can use any color. To create your own custom pair of leggings, you will need to make a pattern first. That will require some paper that you can trace the outline of your folded leggings onto and a black marker. You can use a large roll of craft paper to get a piece that will be big enough for adult leggings, or you can use a large piece of construction paper for a pair of baby or toddler leggings.

SUMMARY:
Choose your fabric. Find an old pair of leggings. Get some elastic for the waistband. Collect paper and a marker for making a pattern.
