We've been looking at the best ways to deal with finances, and we are thinking of adopting Kickstarter's model. This way we wouldn't hold the money itself - we would direct all transactions to the bank account of the partnered lobbying / advocacy firm of a cause.

(in response to thinkcomp's reply to this)

we are using stripe.com as a our payment processor, and they allow exactly what you've stipulated.

We'd love to have an extended chat about this - mind reaching out at [email protected]?

Do you get to choose which cause you are donating to? Either way, you would basically need to have that organization directly debit the donor's account. Sounds tricky.
