GoFundMe Fees of 20%, while iDonate charge just 5%

For example, when you make a ten euro donation using GoFundMe, you are asked for a 15% tip as they claim to have a 0% platform fee for organizers.
The end beneficiary (Cause) also has a charge 2.9% + 25 cents.
This results in GoFundMe fees of more than 20% for the fundraising campaign.

Whereas, a ten euro donation with a credit or debit card using iDonate has a maximum commission of 5%.
iDonate also gives the donor the opportunity to cover the full commission.
Consequently, the end Cause has an overall commission of approximately 1.5% on average.

Always read the small print….

iDonate always advise fundraising campaign organisers to read the small print.
FREE is not always free and may not be as transparent as it looks.
Whereas an iDonate campaign of 5% with the majority of donors covering the fees result in a considerable saving.
