Okay, but surely you can appreciate that making it easier for Europeans and non-Europeans to contribute to this cause would achieve the goal of the donation campaign more efficiently?
My personal opinion is that it would be very much worth it to accept payments via PayPal, Stripe, or other global electronic payment methods[^1]. And show how much money has been received to date.
I would rant about being content with “it works for us, people will donate if they really want to” but I’ve already done that too many times this year.
^1: yes there are some fees associated with this. But it’s also more convenient and probably more people would donate. But for some people the convenience argument does not compute.

Stripe is not free and neither is PayPal. Assume at least 5 to 10℅ gets lost on the way and for smaller transactions it is more. For small non profits sepa is the way to go.
