Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does GiveSendGo take from a donation?

GiveSendGo charges no platform fee, but 2.7% + $0.30 in processing is deducted from each US donation. Their own example shows $97 of a $100 donation reaching the fundraiser, and donors see an automatic tip suggestion that goes to GiveSendGo.

On SupportNow, donors can cover processing with an optional RoundUp, so your family can receive 100% of donations.

Can our church or community organize meals and help, not just money?

Yes. A Support Page includes meal trains, volunteer signups, and to-dos alongside fundraising, so a congregation or community can cook, drive, and show up, not just give.

Everything lives at one link, and supporters never need an account to help.

Can we run GiveSendGo and SupportNow at the same time?

Yes. Many families keep an existing campaign running and add a Support Page for meals, volunteers, and updates.

Pointing new supporters to SupportNow means more of each gift reaches your family.
