How it works

Know where every dollar goes before you give it.

The exact split is on screen before you confirm: your gift, both fees, and what the campaign receives. Here’s the whole path, both directions.

FAQ

Common questions.

Are there any fees?
Two per donation, both shown before you confirm: Givvent’s 2.5% and Stripe’s 2.9% + $0.30. No upfront costs, no subscriptions. Read more
What does “cover the fees” mean?
A small amount is added on top so the campaign receives exactly what you intended. The exact total is in the calculator above and at checkout. Read more
Can I donate without an account?
Yes. One-time gifts need no sign-in. An account adds receipt history, monthly giving, and campaign following. Read more
When do payouts arrive?
Stripe controls timing: typically about 2 business days after a donation settles. New Stripe accounts can see standard holds. Read more
Is my payment information secure?

Can donations be refunded?
Refunds are reviewed case by case within 30 days. Open a support ticket with the campaign name, date, and amount. Read more
