One of the most frequent questions we get asked is about how One Donation charges for the services we offer. We get asked this question by our donors, non-profits, employers seeking to offer payroll donations for their employees. At the end of the day, One Donation wants as much of the donation to end up in the hands of the non-profit as is possible.

The most important thing for our donors to understand is that One Donation charges a $0.50 transaction fee. That fee does not change whether you donate $5 or $500. One Donation seeks to cover our out of pocket expenses and deliver the most value to the non-profit as possible.

If you make a credit card donation, we are charged a variable processing rate by the credit card companies. One Donation deducts the amount charged by the credit card companies in addition to our $0.50 transaction fee. The charge from the credit card companies are not marked up – again, One Donation wants to pass as much onto your desired non-profit as possible.

The One Donation platform is growing and one of our new donation tools offered is payroll donations. If you make a payroll donation, the $0.50 transaction fee is all that is deducted from the full donation amount. Thus, more of your donation will end up in the hands of the non-profit should you sign up for payroll donations vs using our smartphone application for traditional credit card donations.

Payroll donations represent a donation efficiency beyond credit card donations – often this efficiency is even more than what the non-profit can achieve if they process and record all donations directly. For this reason, One Donation is not only living up to our goal to make giving easy, we are also adding value to your donations.
