I'm starting to get interest in our Hobbit Hole support projects on an email group I'm on. People are starting to ask how to contribute.

Do you think we should set up a non-profit PayPal account for this? There would be some minor fees, but we could also advertise as a "shop" in the non-profit section of the PayPal mall. I looked there, and there are some troop support, and lots of leftist, groups there already.

This has nothing to do with becoming a registered nonprofit/charity, which invovles lots of paperwork and oversight (unless it's leftist).

If you do set up such a Paypal account, I can add info to the Hobbit Hole website on how to contribute. In fact, I could also create a dedicated Hobbit Hole email address for such a thing too, if you don't want to use a "real" address. Something like "contribute@the-hobbit-hole.net" for example.

Sounds interesting... something I know nothing about... would like to know more information but don't expect I'd have time to digest it today. Will scan the posts to see if anyone else has commented on this.
