Network for Good, which is also a nonprofit organization, has expenses in order to exist and perform their service, so they charge 3% per donation. In most cases, this fee is negligible. For example, for handling a $100 donation to Glorian, they charge $3. Every other electronic donation method has similar or even higher fees, such as through PayPal, any credit card, etc.

If you feel those fees are unreasonable, there are other donation methods mentioned on our donation page.

Thank you for supporting Glorian!

Yes, compared to other online purchase services 3% really is quite reasonable. It seems that would be the best option available for donations of less than $1000.

I ask this question because I think I recall a few years ago seeing something about sending donations by wire transfer to a bank account. That might be more efficient for donations above a certain amount. Is that option available?

Thank you. I'll check on the international currency exchange rates at my bank and make a decision from there.

When I donate through network for good, does paypal also take a commission? In the above responces it says:

So when I donate 100 dollars. how much does Glorian gets?
100 - 3% = 97%
or
100 - 3% - commission of paypal?

Sorry for the confusion. Anyway donating is more important than finding out the best way to donate, thank you for your reply.

We could also "buy" donations from the Gnostic Store. This doesn't include any fees, right?

All credit cards and most electronic donation methods (such as PayPal) charge for the transaction. In most cases, the fee is such a small amount it is not worth worrying much about. In the case of donating via PayPal through Network for Good, I believe both charge for that.

In the case of large donations, since the percentage will result in a higher amount of money, it is better to donate via check or cash.
