What's a transaction fee?
Safe and secure fundraising is our top priority. That's why we partner with industry
leading payment processors like PayPal to accept and deliver your donations.
The transaction fee is automatically deducted from each donation. It covers the
costs of credit and debit charges, safely delivering donations, and helps us offer
more ways to donate through credit, debit, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. This
is the only fee deducted for someone starting a fundraiser on GoFundMe and helps
power all your fundraising needs.
Donor contributions to GoFundMe are always optional

Donor contributions to GoFundMe are always optional
It's important to us that everyone is able to get the help they need—which is why
we don't charge a fee to start a fundraiser. Instead, we accept optional
contributions from donors that are always appreciated, but never required. Donor
contributions help make it possible for us to offer powerful and trusted
fundraising tools, customer support, and a global team of Trust & Safety experts.
