Donation pages at Reform sites

Using this site to improve your org site

Reform-site webmasters: you urgently need to add an obvious way to donate online. Almost all of the sites have a fatal flaw that prevents would-be supporters from sending money: the only way they present to send money is by "joining" to start a "membership". Present members are thus prevented from donating and repeat-donating. See the links below for more design recommendations, and see if I've added notes yet to the Improve page I created for you.

This page will have a table with these columns: org name, guidestar/helping.org link, donation page link. The donation page link in many cases will go to the "membership/join" page of the org's site, because unfortunately, donation is typically considered to be a rare, odd sub-case of using the "join/membership" page.
