I'm building a site in which 501(c)(3) nonprofits can accept donations and fundraise through my service.

I understand that from the perspective of the user/donator, you should get an email telling you how much to claim on your 1040 Schedule A form. However, I'm clueless as to how to handle this from the perspective of my service. Do I simply report the actual amount transferred to the nonprofit after fees, or are there extra steps/forms to fill out that I'm missing?

(and since extra info can't possibly hurt: we're using Stripe as our payment processor)

I've been on the lookout for summer internship opportunities at bay area/SV startups for ~3 months now. I haven't heard back from... all but one of the ~20 companies I've emailed, and I'm curious as to if this is the behavior I should be expecting.

My cover letter is short, sweet, and proofread (mentions hackathon I won, personal projects, etc), and I've been attaching my resume ([url-redacted]) to it. The emails I send out are generally to generic jobs@company.tld email addresses, which I feel are eating up my submissions and never make it to real human beings.

So I ask you: is my experience representative of all job seeking, or am I doing something wrong? Should I be seeking out employees to reach out to? Is your company even remotely interested in filling pre-undergrad positions, and if so, does my pitch reach the barrier of entry for consideration?
