Donating Online
You’ve asked us to make donation simpler and more convenient, and the donation feature below is part our effort to do that! Recurring monthly donations are an especially big help with future planning.
You can now donate online with PayPal! You can choose to make a one-time, monthly or annual donation. You can choose to have your donations go to our general programs or to cover a specific expense. You can use a debit or credit card for one-time donations, or use your PayPal account with any of its associated payment methods to make a recurring donation. Just click the button below!
A note on transaction fees
Donorbox recently increased its fees, and we found that PayPal was less expensive in most cases. With Donorbox, we pay a 1.75% transaction fee for Donorbox as well as a payment processing fee for Stripe (.8% to 2.9%+ .30). PayPal has just one fee (1.99% + .49). On a $100 credit card donation, the transaction fee from Donorbox is almost twice as much as PayPal ($4.95 vs $2.49). On a $100 donation through a bank account, PayPal is still cheaper ($2.85 for Donorbox vs $2.49 for PayPal).
