Ask HN: Is it cool to ask website visitors help your charity?

2 pointsby omidfiover 8 years ago
I have a couple of website that provide services, or information for free. I have no intention of making money out of them. But is it OK to add a banner and ask visitors to donate to some charities on my behalf? Has someone done this? Will anyone donate actually? If yes, what are the easy ways to implement.

More then likely you won&#x27;t make any money off of them. I&#x27;m not sure what the rate for donation per user is, but its far less then advertisements (~$1 per thousand usually), even for sites that have big begging banner ads.<p>As for services to do this, you can see how wikipedia does it:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wikimediafoundation.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ways_to_Give" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wikimediafoundation.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ways_to_Give</a>
