How much of my donation reaches the NGO I select?

GiveIndia ensures that 90.9% of your contribution reaches the NGO you have chosen by keeping fundraising costs at 9.1%.

In the Payroll Giving programme, the company makes a donation of 9.1% of total contributions, so 100% of the employee's donation is passed through.

The 9.1% donation retention covers all our costs including the due diligence, sending the money to the NGO, sending you your feedback report, the credit card charges which are often as high as 4% of your donation size*, and providing ongoing donor support including provision of online accounts and facilities.

*For U.S.-tax paying donors on GiveIndia.org, Paypal charges 2.5% plus 30c per donation. For U.K.-tax paying donors on GiveIndia.org, Paypal charges 3.4% plus 20p per donation as a fee for their services. Thus, for a 20 pound donation, the Paypal charges alone are 4.4% and for a 10 pound donation, it is 5.4%.
