Thank you for your suggestions.
I already have the site set up to take donations via Paypal = which automatically gives a tax receipt to donors. I am not sure there are enough BTC users who would even donate, but as I originally said, a supporter suggested that if BTC is the wave of the future, accepting this type of currency might  bring in new supporters.
I thank everyone for the discussion as if has taught me a great deal. It sounds, since there have been several discouraging posts, that even BTC users do not see it as a viable future currency (which makes me wonder - Why not? - but that is another discussion).
Several people have assumed I am somehow trying to pull the wool over your eyes - which is, additionally, interesting as I only asked for advice to potentially set up a donation portal on a website. If I was *not* in charge of the website, then asking for the advice would be useless. If I *am* who I say I am (the founder/president of a 501c3 charity - and it took about 9 months to achieve that status along with a great deal of my own money for not only filing fees, but the website, printing costs, internet security costs- to try to keep my own house from being burned down because reproductive justice in the U.S. is a dangerous proposition), then I should have chosen a safer charity to align myself with.
I would suggest that rather than seeing everyone with such distrust, that you might stop to think about the reality - because behind the keyboard is an actual person, trying to help other actual people. Trying to find new avenues to help them.

I again - thank people for the discussion and advice!

The easiest way would be to simply post a donation address and its qr code on the website.

It looks like OP is trying to scam in the name of charity Sad Utterly disgusting.
He will probably reply posting his Bitcoin address and adding a sob story,
Watch.

Sorry for any confusion - I came here to ask for help, not money.
And as I have an organization specializing in reproductive rights - it is probably safe to assume I am female.

Hi All -
I am really lost at sea here. I have a new 501c3 charity and one of my (very few but wonderful) supporters told me that it would be beneficial to accept Bitcoin for donations.
I can barely run the website, thanks to godaddy's homegrown site- I manage, but I know there is a community out there that will help my organization if I can learn how to reach them. I need to know which wallet is best (to link directly to a standard bank), which sites bitcoin users are most comfortable with as an interface with the website, etc. Anything to help. My charity is the Silver State Hope Fund (if anyone want to investigate before choosing to answer me).
It would mean a great deal if you would help me with some suggestions. If there is a way we can repay you - we will. We can list supporters on the website, we can give you tax write-off receipts in exchange for your time, etc.
Plus - helping a new charity is good karma!
Thanks to all!
T.
