How can I accept online donations given some snowflake details?

I'm raising funds for a non-profit, and I have a quota to meet. They have an online donation form, but I need donations attributed to me. And there's no way for me to look over the list. How can I accept online donations?
I do not have permission (or the time) to set up a donation system for the non-profit.
At the least, I would like to be able to see who donated how much. It would be neat to have some way to publicly show progress toward my goal.
Oh, I would like to collect donations via links or widgets on my Wordpress blog.

Check out Razoo, too.

There are actually a bunch of sites that do this.
I second Razoo, they have a good platform. (4.9% transaction fee) Definitely has widgets you can embed in your site.
You could also use FirstGiving. (5% fee + 2.5% credit card fee) Because this one takes more in fees, I like Razoo better.
FYI, Crowdrise takes 5% plus 2.9% plus 30 cents per donation unless the charity pays them annual fees.
It's been a while since we got these set for our nonprofit so I forget exactly what's involved, but I believe that the charity just has to be a registered 501c3 with an entry in the GuideStar database, and you need to know their EIN, in order to set up a page (although it's better for the charity if someone in it is web savvy and can set up a profile for the group, etc on the site).

If you don't have permission to set up a system, is there a blank line anywhere on the form?

Response by poster: Thanks for the suggestions. I want with imraising.com which integrates with my pre-existing PayPal account. I don't love it, but it'll do. No fees at this time.
