Understanding Fees on GiveSendGo
At
GiveSendGo, we believe in generosity—and that includes not charging
fees to use our platform. Instead, we're funded by the generosity of
fundraiser organizers and givers who choose to support us. That means
100% of what you raise goes to your cause, minus a small fee from our
third-party payment processor.
Fee Breakdown
GiveSendGo platform fee: 0% + $0 per donation
Third-party processing fee (U.S.): 2.7% + $0.30 per donation
Third-party processing fee (Non-U.S.): 3.5% + $0.30 per donation, plus any applicable currency exchange fees
How Processing Fees Work
For
fundraisers based in the United States, the processing fee applied to a
donation depends on where the giver is located. Donations made by
U.S.-based givers are processed at the U.S. rate. Donations made by
givers outside the United States are processed at the non-U.S. rate.
For fundraisers based outside the United States, all donations are processed at the non-U.S. rate.
Built on Generosity, Powered by You
We
never take a cut—your success is what drives us, and the generosity of
the GiveSendGo community makes it all possible. To learn more about how
