Does Donors Choose Take a Percentage?

Because all transactions in the US must be charged the same fee regardless of payment form, we've set a standard 1.5% processing fee. Fulfillment labor & materials. Total project cost.

How does donor choose work?

When a donor gives to a project, they'll see a message at checkout alerting them that their donation will be matched, and by how much. As long as the match logo appears on the project, the new donations made will be matched (and donors won't have to input a promo code).

Is DonorsChoose a tax write off?

Donations through DonorsChoose.org are tax deductible! You can download an official annual receipt straight from your account on our website: Log into your DonorsChoose.org account.
