Save with ACH: A 1,000donationcosts22.30 to process via card but only $5.00 via ACH. Encourage ACH for larger gifts to save your donors and your organization money.
Donors can optionally cover both the processing fee and GiveLink’s platform fee at checkout. When they do, your nonprofit receives 100% of the intended donation amount.
On some platforms, the “tip” is pre-selected at 15-17% and requires multiple clicks to remove. Many donors don’t realize they’re paying it. GiveLink charges a transparent 1% — and donors are never asked to pay extra.
