What are tips?
In short, tips are an easy way for people to support Givebutter's free and transparent business model. We rely on these tips to support our mission and provide our platform for free, with no out-of-pocket expenses to organizations. You can read more about optional Tips here.

What are the fees?
There are two types of fees on Givebutter:
Platform fees: these go to Givebutter to pay for costs such as website hosting and support. Platform fees scale from 1-5%, based on the type of campaign you’re running. (Platform Fees are only charged if optional Tips are disabled.)
Processing fees: these go to credit card and payment processing companies like Visa and American Express. These fees cover the secure online processing of each transaction.
