When you donate through this site, Benevity and their foundation partners take care of donation processing, disbursing funds to recipient charities, creating and issuing tax receipts, and other administrative tasks that the charity would normally have to do themselves. By using technology to automate these processes, we reduce the administrative overhead for the charities we support, saving them time and money. Charities pay a fee of no more than of 2.9% for these services, in addition to any merchant fees deducted by the third-party credit card processor and/or PayPal.
