If you decide to turn on Donor Covered Fees, it's probably important to you to know exactly what the donor will see when giving. Note: Admins can manage existing recurring gifts and enable donor-covered fees by Viewing and Modifying Recurring Donations.
Gifts where the donor chose to offset the fees are also designated in Excel downloads. How Donor-Covered Fees Appear in an Online Giving Reportĭonations where the donor has opted to cover the fees will appear in Online Giving Reporting accompanied by a heart icon, allowing you to easily differentiate between fees the church is responsible for, and fees with which donors increased their gift to help offset. If you previously recorded “fees” in your accounting software, you can continue to do so by recording the fee amounts of the specific transfers. Because the gross amount of the gift was increased, the church is still being charged the standard processing fee, which is taken out of the transfer.ĭonors deciding to increase their gift allows the church to receive more net income to the specified funds, rather than if the donor did not increase their gift to “cover" or "offset” the fees. When someone chooses to cover transaction fees, they are simply increasing their donation to the specific fund(s) to which they have decided to give, as a way to help offset the fees of the transaction. Regardless of whether a donor increased their donation to offset the fee or not, you will record processing fees the same way in your accounting records. As it has always been, the church receives $96.80 (net of fees), and the donor receives credit for $100 on their Breeze profile, as well as on their giving statement. If a donor chooses to give $100 with a credit/debit card and they decide not to cover the fees, there is no increase to their donation.The church receives $100 (net of fees), and the donor receives credit for $103.30 on their Breeze profile, as well as on their giving statement. If a donor chooses to give $100 with a credit/debit card and they decide to cover the fees, they are opting to increase their donation to $103.30.

How Donors Receive Credit for Donor-Covered Feesīecause the donor-covered fees option simply encourages your donors to increase their donation amount in order to help offset costs for your church or organization, the donor is always credited the full amount that they give.
Note: To help cover rounding issues that may occur during the fee-application process, donor totals may vary by +$0.01 or -$0.01 from totals derived using the above formula. The option to allow donors to cover fees not only helps inform your donors of the processing fees, but if they choose to participate, it helps offset administrative costs for your church or organization. However, in the world of online processing, there are standard processing fees involved. When most donors give online, they assume the amount that they are choosing to donate is the amount that the church actually receives.
If you're a US-based church and would like to allow your donors to cover the processing fees for web giving, you can now turn on this feature in the settings of your Breeze Online Giving Page.
