Fees from an organizer’s perspective
Updated July 19, 2026
Starting and running a campaign is free. Fees only apply per donation: Givvent’s 2.5% platform fee and Stripe’s processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 come out before funds reach your bank.
In practice most donations arrive whole: the "cover the fees" option at checkout is on by default, and when a donor keeps it checked, the fees are added to their charge instead of deducted from your campaign. You receive the full intended amount.
Your organizer dashboard shows both numbers for every donation, what the donor gave and what you received, so reconciling against your bank statement is straightforward.
