<snip> Hi Roger, You should take a look at CiviCRM, which is aimed at non-profits and charities. The way to make donations is very fine-grained. It might look a bit daunting at first, but it can do exactly what you want it to do. </snip>
Thanks Eljay, it certainly seems the way to go.
I'm about to try civicrm in my home drupal7 dev - I experimented a bit on my home pc some years ago in early drupal 6 and found it complex back then. Finding how to install civicrm in drupal 7 is not easy because much of the "civicrm stuff on the web" still defaults to drupal 6, and from what I see it's still a fairly daunting procedure.
I haven't found suitable install instruction for drupal 7 .
Do you know if they've made the install easier for drupal 7 and where I can find the apps please, or is it still a wget procedure.
Thank you for any help Cheers Roger
civicrm.org then click on Get Started, Installation Guides, and pick the D7 one.
I did one recently and it is pretty straight forward, but certainly not trivial. For me, from bare machine with no Drupal to basically minimally configured Civi, about 4 hours with lots of reading manuals to figure out exactly what I wanted and not having done Civi on a regular basis (a few times previously).

CiviCRM is vastly easier to install now with an installer which does most of the work.
see http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Drupal+Installation+Guid...
A couple of points: 1. Use a separate database for CiviCRM (even though Drupal db uses InnoDB tables now as well) 2. Install CiviCRM in sites/all/modules (even if you're not using Drupal multisite) it seems to be happiest there.
"Install CiviCRM"
sites/all/modules
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/civicrm/civicrm-stable/4.1.5/civicr... tar -xzvf civicrm-4.1.5-drupal.tar.gz
Run CiviCRM Installer
http://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php
That's it!

+a fair amount of time configuring it after installing. It plays 20 questions with you filling in a lot of changes to default behaviors. Then you can expect to spend more time configuring things that are special to your organization. Setting up payment processing also takes time.
