Is a PayPal Business account required to collect campaign funds through Destiny Fundraising Manager? Why can't I use my PayPal Personal account?

The answer is yes.  

Here's why...

The Destiny Fundraising Manager platform was designed to solve the major "pain points" surrounding fundraising for education-based organisations.   

Many districts/schools (including faculty), as well as those entities surrounding them, are faced with the problem of misappropriation of campaign funds to personal financial accounts.

As one safeguard against this, DFM users/campaign creators are required to utilize a PayPal Business account to link to the DFM platform to enable the PayPal - Electronic Funds Collection Option.
