Program Director Meera Rao told subscribers to the Online Fundraising e-mail list
how the system worked: “When people donate online, there is an automatic receipt
that is generated immediately, with the thank you note and the details of the donation.
This is the only letter the donors get for credit card donations, and is the legal
document they use to support their write-off claims.”

She added: “We have had this in place for over a year and have had no major troubles,
either electronically or otherwise. Minor ones like duplicate entries, entry errors
etc are taken care of by me, and occur very rarely, less than 1% of the time.”
