Are there fees?
There is a 4.75% tax-deductible fee for
credit card/PayPal transactions, which you can
add or deduct from your donation. This fee is
used to pay banks, credit card companies and
other administrative costs. Network for Good
does not profit from fees. There is a $10 fee
for online check transactions containing one
donation and a $5 fee per donation for
transactions containing multiple donations. The
online check fees cover check vendor, banking
and administrative costs, and Network for Good
does not profit from them.
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 4.75% 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.
