Are there fees?
Your donation is to the Network for Good Donor Advised fund. Network for Good re-grants the donation funds to your charity(ies), retaining 4.75% for our mission of training and supporting more than 50,000 nonprofits in their fundraising efforts. If you prefer, you can add a tax-deductible 4.75% grant to Network for Good when you check out so that 100% of the donation amount will be granted to your charity(ies).
Note to Nonprofits: If you subscribe to our Custom DonateNow service, supporters who donate via your Custom DonateNow page will incur a 3% rate instead of the aforementioned 4.75%. Learn more here.
How does the money get to the charity?
Your contribution is made to Network for Good, a nonprofit, donor advised fund, which will distribute your donation to the nonprofit organization that you indicated. We work through VeriSign to get payments from your credit card, PayPal, and/or bank accounts. Network for Good mails a check directly to the charity, or if the charity provided information to us the donation is electronically transmitted through our secure servers to the charity's bank account. Donations are sent to charities on the 15th of each month.

*As required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Network for Good has exclusive legal control over the donation. In the rare event that a charity you have recommended does not satisfy Network for Good's criteria for receiving donations (i.e., it has been classified by the IRS as a disqualified supporting organization, it cannot or does not accept donations, is not recognized by the IRS as a public charity, or is not in good standing with federal and state regulators), Network for Good will select an alternate charity to receive your donation funds.
