How many institutions offer an electronic funds transfer option on their websites? Regardless of segments, what e-blast asks tend to bring in the greatest number of gifts: holiday-related or yearend-related?

Many institutions use radio buttons to make suggested dollar amount requests online - what ranges are people using and how effective have the ask amounts been?
