Every NA-DVD .iso file [and made ones] have the official Donation Page 
link on the top of each of its browser-based pages. I do not know if 
that will help with online donations, but it could not hurt.  I have 
made mine via the donation page.  Also if any money comes to TDF from 
the Lulu.com books, then I have made some there as well.
