Who pays for the donation processing fees?
If you pay by credit card/PayPal, it's your choice: you can pay the 4.75% tax-deductible processing fee by adding it to your transaction or you can choose to have it deducted from your donation. This fee is used to pay banks, credit card companies and other administrative costs. If you pay by online check, the $10 flat fee (or $5 per donation for transactions with two or more donations) will be deducted from your donation. Network for Good does not profit from fees.Electing to contribute directly to a charity (through their own website) does not mean that you avoid paying processing fees; all charities incur fees with processing donations. Network for Good is explicit in explaining the fees and we give you the opportunity to cover them within the transaction. Even when you do not elect to cover the processing fee, using our website still saves your favorite charity money because our processing fees are extremely low. Many charities have to pay more to credit card companies.
