  <p>With that said, I would recommend you still require billing addresses.  Right now the volume of fraudulent credit card transactions on non-profit sites seems to be skyrocketing and anything you can do to protect yourself would be prudent. The last thing you want is to have Authorize turn off your account due to fraud and you won't get any contributions then!</p>

Answers.Text: No, none of these are related. My boss just wants the billing address to be NOT required to make it easier to donate, that's all.
