Set a Realistic Starting Goal

Choose a goal that reflects your current need. If your situation changes or you reach your original target, you can update your goal at any time.

Account for Transaction Fees

GiveSendGo does not charge platform fees, but our payment processing partner deducts a transaction fee from each gift. When setting your goal, factor in the total you'll need after processing fees are applied.

For a full breakdown of what's deducted per gift, see Understanding Fees on GiveSendGo.

Your goal is a reflection of your need. Set it thoughtfully, and adjust it as your situation evolves.
