Yes, we encourage you to do so, but it is entirely up to you. Accepting credit card donations incurs a fee from our merchant bank which averages 3% of the transaction amount. For example, if you donate $100 to a sponsored project, $3.00 will go toward credit card fees. You may opt to help cover this fee by clicking the box, “Yes, I will help cover the cost of credit card processing”, which will add 3% to your gift amount.
Thank you for helping more dollars be available to our sponsored projects!
