We understand accepting cash/checks is another option to give donors, but we recommend you strongly encourage donors to first use the platform to make a donation. There are many benefits to having all donors make their donation through 99Pledges:
Donors give 25% more online than through cash/check (well above the ~3% processing fees charged by PayPal/Visa/MC/Amex)
Donors can see goals and standings which motivates them to donate more (potentially even multiple times)
Donors can easily spread the word through the one-click sharing buttons
