The cost of a GlobalGiving Gift Card order depends on the value of the Gift Cards and whether you choose standard or customized physical cards or eCards.
Fulfillment fee
GlobalGiving charges a standard 15% fulfillment fee on donation amounts. As a nonprofit, GlobalGiving uses these funds to support its operations.
If you want the full face value of each Gift Card to be available for the projects your recipients choose, you can elect to cover the 15% fee as a direct donation to GlobalGiving.
For example, to make the full $10 Gift Card value available for your recipient to donate, you would pay $11.50. The recipient would have $10 to give to the project or projects of their choice, and $1.50 would be a direct donation to GlobalGiving.
