It is technically a foundation, a non profit organization website, which will allow people to make donations for the cause. Is purchasing an SSL certificate for this site a good idea?
If i have to purchase then which one is better for such a site?

SSL certificate is normally required over logins page. If you are simply taking donations through paypal etc, then it means the user will get redirected to another payment gateway. You dont exactly need a SSL.

You are required to have SSL Certificate for, Register Page, Login Page, Forgot Password Page and if you have any specific pages where users used to fill confidential details.
I feel that having SSL certs for your site will be beneficial, as users will donate online and online transaction will happen, and credit card information and all such sensitive information will require for the same purpose.
The more customers trust you, the more they donate. An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between the browser and Web server. And protect all sensitive data from hackers and fraud.

Very True! But many online vendors are not aware of SSL's benefits. To host your eCommerce site, specially for the online payment section one should install SSL Certificate. And EV SSL Certificate will enhance online business by winning users trust.

Technically you can get away a cheap ssl certificate. But if you want to retain your customers, then you can go a high end certificate, aimed at better security and safety of customers' information. Certificates from verisign and geotrust can really help increasing your sales.
