Fees

While sponsors, including 501 Commons, donate some support to Washington Gives, donation processing fees and annual nonprofit fees are essential to cover campaign and platform costs.

Donation Processing Fee: The total donation processing fee includes a credit card fee of 2.5% + $0.30 per transaction. Additionally, a 3.25% platform fee supports our technology partner, Mightycause, and 501 Commons as the program sponsor. Fortunately, 88% of donors opt to cover these fees, meaning nonprofits, on average, pay less than 1% in fees per donation!

One-Time Registration Fee: The registration fee is a sliding scale fee you pay when you register for the year. We base your fee on your contributed revenue budget (CRB). Your CRB is what you expect to raise for your current fiscal year, minus earned income, capital campaign funds, in-kind donations, and interest/investment earnings. Contributed revenue includes what you expect to raise from individual donations, corporate or foundation grants/sponsorships, events, and government grants/contracts. (Everything under "contributed" on your financials.)
