Just like for any business, get a real merchant account. However, the rate 
you'll be paying will be roughly 2.5% anyway, so you won't save much vs 
paypal. If you are taking donations online, might as well use paypal. 
(There's no "unprofessional" stigma with paypal for nonprofits vs real 
company).
