  • 1.  donors covering processing fees

    Posted 05-24-2024 10:22 AM
    Hello all,
    My organization is considering making a change to our donation pages to allow donors to cover the processing fee.  For orgs that already do this, is the entirety of their transaction (the original gift amount + the processing fee) considered tax-deductible?  Do you notate a special thanks in the receipt thanking them for covering the fee?
    Thanks,

    Yes - the entire amount is deductible as long as paying the fee is voluntary.

    And I for sure would add a separate note of thanks for the additional contribution and its purpose.
