The GiveLocalNRV platform, like nearly all online donation platforms, charges fees for online donation: 7.4% of the donation + .30 cents for each transaction. By having every donor chip in a small amount, everyone contributes to helping support this community-wide event.

What do the fees go toward?

2.9% + 30¢ goes toward credit card processing fees.
3.5% platform fee goes toward offsetting the costs of the Mightycause platform and operational costs.
1% admin fee goes toward helping offset the costs of the CFNRV’s administrative support, marketing, and advertising.

A donor can choose to not pay the fees. In this case, the fees will be deducted from the donation and the organization will receive the rest of the donation. For example, if a donor gives $100 but does not want to pay the $7.70 in fees, the organization will receive a total of $92.30 from that transaction.

Fees for donations made via a bank account (ACH)
Payment by bank account is an option only for online donations $50+. For donors that give via their bank account, credit card processing fees will be replaced by a 1% transaction fee, plus a $1.50 fixed fee per transaction (total ACH processing fees will be capped at $5.00) The platform and admin fee still apply. These transactions are processed through a secure service called Plaid.

Prefer to skip the fees? You can donate via cash and check, as well as make a wire transfer (if the donation is more than $1,000), to your favorite organization by noon on June 25.
