Nonprofit Costs:
Colorado Gives remains FREE for nonprofits to join.
Robust out-of-the box functionality is also FREE. A few examples include: fundraising pages (peer-to-peer, team, and group), donation widget, and a donation form on ColoradoGives.org.
ColoradoGives.org also offers two subscriptions plans for additional functionality for nonprofit organizations:
- The Customized Embeddable Donation Form (that is, a form you can put on your own website) is available ONLY to nonprofits on ColoradoGives.org for a low rate of $19 a month. All donations made through the form will process through Colorado Gives using our low fee structure. To learn more about the form, click here.
- The Advanced Plan ($69 a month) provides organizations the ability to utilize more comprehensive tools and features in addition to the included Customized Embeddable Donation Form. You can learn more about the plans here. *Please note the pricing on this page does not reflect the special deal you get by being on ColoradoGives.org
Donation Costs:
Donors who give through ColoradoGives.org pay one fee. That fee is 3.99% and includes processing and platform fees. When donors do not cover the fee, only the 2.05% payment processing is withheld from the donation.
Organizations have two donation processing fee options available to them.
Option 1 (recommended): Allow donors to cover fees
Donors will be asked to cover an optional 3.99% per transaction fee to include all platform and payment processing fees. However, your organization will never pay more than 2.05% for processing the funds you raise.
Here's How It Works:
- Donors will be asked whether they would like to cover a transaction fee of 3.99% per transaction.
- If a donor chooses not to cover the transaction fee, your organization will never pay more than 2.05% per transaction to help cover the payment processing fees.
- So, if all of your donors choose to cover this fee, your organization will pay nothing.
- If none or some of your donors choose to cover this fee, you will be credited prior to your disbursement such that none of your aggregate transactions have a fee over 2.05% per transaction.
- Here's an example if you have a mix of uncovered and covered donations:
Example: If you received 10 donations for $10 each during the disbursement period and donors covered the fees for only 4 donations, your total uncovered fees deduction would be $1.23 (2.05% for 6 transactions).
Option 2: Subtract fees from disbursements:
If you would not like donors to be able to cover transactions fees, choose "Subtract fees from disbursements."
No checkbox option to cover the fee will be shown and the 2.05% fee will be subtracted from the donor's contribution after they complete their transaction. That is, your nonprofit will pay 2.05% all the time for every transaction.
