Our users consistently tell us that Firstgiving helps them raise more money with less effort, and we're proud to play a small role in that success. Thousands of nonprofits have teamed with Firstgiving as a way to reduce administrative costs. At Firstgiving, we strive to provide an excellent service at a low cost. That's why Firstgiving deducts a total fee of 7.5% on donations made to fundraising pages.

For example, with a $25 donation:

• - 1.88 (7.5%) -> Firstgiving fee

• ---

• $23.12 goes to the nonprofit

The 7.5% Firstgiving fee covers:

• Securing and hosting the site so you can take comfort in leaving your credit card details
• Vetting 501 (c) nonprofits associated with GuideStar
• Processing your donations securely
• Providing exceptional support - when you contact us, you speak to real people (we are fundraisers and donors, just like you!)
• Ensuring the transfer of money raised to the nonprofit
