Do JustGiving take any of your donation?

I have been asked whether any of the cash you so kindly donate ends up in the pockets of the JustGiving people?

Fair question!

Here's what happens when you make a donation of £10:
(Based on information on their web-site here JustGiving)

You donate     £10.00
+ Gift Aid reclaimed on your behalf    £ 2.82
Total Donation  £12.82

JustGiving 5% fee     £0.64
Credit card fee @ 1.3%     £0.13
Total cost to your charity     £0.77

Your charity gets     £12.05

*Debit card (17p) *PayPal (1.45%)

So the answer is yes it does and some ALSO ends up with your credit card company. But by using JustGiving, the charity normally gets more than you originally donated! Fair deal!
