GivingGrid does not charge you any fees!
And when we say we charge you ZERO FEES, we mean zip!!
With GivingGrid you only pay third party credit card processing fees directly to the payment processor. Those range from roughly 2-3%, plus a small transaction fee. And, if you’re set up as a 501c3 nonprofit with PayPal, you only pay 1.99%, plus a transaction fee.
Beware: Be sure to check what other fundraising platforms charge for payment processing. You might be surprised. We recently heard as high as 7%, plus a transaction fee. That’s a big deal!
So how does GivingGrid pay for its operating expenses and keep the lights on?
We apply a unique method where the donor is given the option to add a small contribution for us, in addition to their donation. Think of it as a tip. If they think we're providing a valuable service, they give us a little something. If not, they have the option to lower it or make it zero and give us nothing. No matter what, the fundraiser never gets hit with a fee from us and GivingGrid assumes all the risk! Sound fair?
