Do online fundraising platforms charge fees?
Many platforms and payment processors charge transaction, service, payout, or currency fees, though amounts and optional donor tips differ.
What this means in practice
Read the platform’s current fee page and identify who pays each fee.
A “zero platform fee” claim may exclude payment processing or tips.
Directing donors to Famidi’s official checkout creates a clearer receipt and program path.
How community support can stay useful
Famidi encourages fundraisers, volunteers, schools, workplaces, faith communities, companies, and foundations to choose a clear program, use official payment channels, set realistic expectations, and report back when the effort ends.
A partnership should never promise field access, beneficiary exposure, tax treatment, naming rights, or results that have not been agreed and verified. Scope and reporting expectations belong in writing.
Check the underlying information.
