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

The answer is yes.  

Here's why...

The Livingtree Give platform was designed to solve the major "pain points" surrounding fundraising educational-based organizations.   

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, LT Give users/campaign creators are required to utilize a PayPal Business account, to link to the LT Give platform to enable the PayPal - Electronic Funds Collection Option.
