When a donor makes a credit card donation to a 501(c) (3) nonprofit
Nonprofit and Church Legal Trends - Free Edition - March April 2009 (free edition)
FAQ: When a donor makes a credit card donation to a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, may it pay the credit card fee out of the donor’s gift.
A nonprofit is allowed to pay the costs of fundraising out of the funds raised and the typical credit card fee is a fundraising cost that is relatively minor, especially compared to printing, mailing, or paid solicitors. The donor’s deduction is based on the amount given, not the net received by the charity after fundraising costs.
