We believe in transparency around the cost of fundraising. That's why we don't hide the processing fee for credit card gifts, why we ask for donors to add a little extra to their gifts to help offset the cost of the fee, and why we share more about exactly why this fee is necessary.
In order to offer and sustain GivingEdge — and Big Day of Giving, the annual giving event that it powers — a transaction fee of 5.2% is charged on every credit card donation made using our platform. When you make a donation on GivingEdge, you can elect to help cover the fee on behalf of your chosen organization.
If you choose to help offset the fee, your donation will increase by 5.2%. (For example, if you make a $100 gift and opt to offset the fee, your total donation will be $105.20.) Note that your entire contribution amount is tax-deductible, including the processing fee.

The 5.2% fee is broken down as follows:
