Main issues:  Not being able to easily capture data when people give & % fees taken through web services and FJC. 
Nick suggested google check out as best option for no processing fees for first year and low fees afterward. 
Unclear if current set up with JustGive and FJC means processing fees for both orgs?
Nick sent comprehensive email on options for web/storefront $.  
*Explain current issues to FJC and seek support/options.
