Choosing Your Goal Amount.

When starting a campaign on GiveSendGo, selecting an initial attainable goal amount is crucial. Here are some tips and considerations to help you set a successful goal:

Set an Attainable Goal:

• Choose an initial goal that is realistic and achievable. This can motivate donors and help build momentum for your campaign.
• As you reach milestones, you can increase your goal to keep the campaign progressing.

Understand Transaction Fees:

• US Recipients: A transaction fee of 2.7% + $0.30 per donation is applied.
• Non-US Recipients: A transaction fee of 3.5% + $0.30 per donation is applied.
• Currency Exchange Fees: Additional fees may be incurred by the payment processor for currency exchange.

These fees are deducted from the total donation amount to ensure secure payment processing.

Factor in Fees:

• When setting your goal, remember to account for these transaction fees. This ensures you have a clear understanding of the net amount you will receive after fees are deducted.

By considering these factors, you can set a goal that is both realistic and aligns with the financial needs of your campaign.
