Created By: chief22Summary: One of our core missions at Causes is to greatly reduce the overhead costs of raising money for nonprofits. Under the current system, most nonprofits end up spending 20-40% of the money they raise paying outside consulting firms to solicit money for them using expensive methods such as telephone and snail mail. In contrast, through Causes, there is only a 4.75% tax-deductible fee for completing transactions by credit card. Donations are processed by our nonprofit partner Network for Good, an industry leader in processing online donations. Their 4.75% fee is used to pay banks, credit card companies, and other associated costs of donations through Causes.
