Estimate only. Assumes an average gift of $65. Card processing is included in every row that carries it. On the tipped Givelayer row the donor’s tip covers both the platform fee and the processing, which is why it reads zero. Card processing is shown at the nonprofit rate of 2.2% + $0.30, which registered US charities whose payments are mostly donations can apply for. Until the application is approved, or for an organisation that does not qualify, the standard rate of 2.9% + $0.30 applies. Your own rates may differ.
