Fees
It’s completely free for fundraisers and donors to use our website – this page details our charity fees.
Because Virgin Money Giving is not-for-profit, our charity fees are just enough to cover our running costs. We ask for a one-off payment from charities when they register with us and take 2% of donations. Gift Aid is reclaimed from HMRC on behalf of charities and passed over in full – we don’t make any charge at all on Gift Aid.
Here’s a breakdown of our charity fees:
| Monthly fee | £0 |
|---|---|
| One-off set-up fee | £100 + VAT |
| Transaction fee (taken from donations and event fees only) | 2% |
Here’s what happens to a £10 donation with Gift Aid added and fees deducted:
| Your donation | £10.00 |
|---|---|
| Gift Aid | £2.50 |
| Transaction fee @2% | £0.20 |
| Card processing fee @1.45% | £0.15 |
| Total cost to charity | £0.35 |
| Total donation | £12.15 |
The card processing fee of 1.45% applies to all cards except American Express which is 1.6%.
Please note, the charges for business credit and debit cards are the same as the charges shown above.
The PayPal processing fee is 1.6%.
