Simplygiving is for free to use for charities, non-profits, social enterprises, personal fundraisers and companies looking to fundraise for a cause.

To cover our costs and continue investing in the platforms and tools for growth, at the time of transaction we ask donors for an optional fee on top of their donation to you. (Donor Tips)

When someone donates through a Simplygiving donation form, we will present them with a checkbox within the form asking them to add a small amount to their donation.
The checkbox will be checked by default, and it states that the fee covers your fundraising costs, as this fee enables Simplygiving to develop and grow for your needs.
‍
If the donor chooses to pay this optional Donor Tips on top of their donation, the fee will come to Simplygiving.
‍
REFERENCE EXAMPLE
‍To illustrate how our fee works, consider the following scenario:
‍
Debbie is donating to Global Cause, an Singapore nonprofit. She selects a donation of $50.
She will see a checkbox that says "DonorPays", in this example an additional $2.50
Debbie leaves the box checked and clicks "Donate $52.50".

Global Cause's Stripe account processes the $52.50 donation resulting in the following breakdown of fees:
Total Debbie paid: $52.50
SimplyGiving Fee: $2.50 (paid directly to SimplyGiving)
Stripe Processing Fee (in Singapore): $1.04 (taken from the Donation amount)
Net Received by Global Cause: $48.96 (paid directly to Global Cause)

To activate your fundraising campaign to receive donations, you need to connect your own Stripe or PayPal account.
Like most payment gateways, Stripe and PayPal charge a credit card processing fee on each transaction. You can use the links below to find fees for each of these providers:

‍Stripe fees
Razorpay fees
PayPal fees
‍
If you are a tax-deductible organisation or a registered charity, we recommend you contact Stripe and PayPal for non-profit discounts. Email nonprofit@stripe.com, or visit your region's PayPal support site, to enquire about your local rates once you have set up an account.

If your organisation is tax-deductible in your jurisdiction, the Simplygiving fee generally is too. The full transaction amount is first processed by the payment gateway account, then the Simplygiving fee is taken as a service fee if the donor chose to cover it.

As a donor will only see one transaction on their statement, and since the whole amount goes to the non-profit  first, the whole donation is usually tax-deductible
