Visa Giving Gateway Can Help Increase Your Charitable Donations
Did you know that online donors generally give much larger gifts than traditional donors – 46% more for donors who gave at least one gift a year online vs. other channels?1 Now your charity organization can take advantage of Visa Giving Gateway which offers an easy way for your donors to make online donations with the simplicity and security of using their Visa card.
As a dedicated web portal powered by Blackbaud, Visa Giving Gateway is available to most IRS qualified 501(c)(3) publicly supported charities that are described in 509(a)(1) or (2). An administrative fee of 3.75% +$0.25 will be deducted from each donation by Renaissance Charitable Foundation Inc. (RCF) to cover administrative, processing and other costs and fees associated with managing and processing online contributions and disbursement to the recommended charities. For example, if someone were to donate $100.00, the administrative fee would be $3.75 + $0.25 = $4.00 for that donation. If the recommended charity is eligible to receive the donation, it would receive the donation amount of $96.00 ($100.00 - $4.00).
