You don't accept bitcoins. You only accept bitcoin donations.
'Checkout now' sends straight to paypal.

You should get that sorted before posting

Thanks so much for the tip! Post edited.

Thanks. That's better.

Now, what's your excuse for not accepting BTC payments?

What's your status, are you a charity or non-profit? If so, I think Coinbase would process your payments with 0% fee (better than paypal)

Hopefully that will be next!
We are a nonprofit and already on board with Coinbase.

Hey Bitcoin community,

Musician empowerment nonprofit PeaceTones (www.peacetones.org) is now accepting Bitcoin donations! PeaceTones’ mission is to foster rule of law from the ground up and create sustainable incomes for musicians living in communities fractured by social conflict and economic disparity. We believe that by giving musicians with positive social messages the tools to protect their music and earn an income from it, we’re empowering communities to create and help sustain their own economies, based on arts that are powerful, inspiring and valuable.

We took the Bitcoin plunge recently and are so excited to be part of this community! Does anyone have any suggestions for nonprofit resources in the Bitcoin world and/or really any advice about getting the word out about our work and the potential for people with Bitcoin to get involved?

Thanks so much,
The PeaceTones Team

You could always run a Bitcoin crowfunding project on my platform http://www.bitcoinstarter.com. Just an idea!
Great site!

We will definitely check it out. Thank you!

This is a very big difference. I highly doubt that anyone on here would be willing to spend paypal on a site they found on this forum, but would likely be willing to donate to a good cause in bitcoin.

Looking at the OPs site, I have my doubts about it's credibility......
