Are there any fees?

Groundswell takes 1% of donations (domestic and international) to cover the cost of processing. Many companies choose to cover those costs for you, so you may not see them when you give.

Please note: Starting on January 1, 2026 the fee for international donations is increasing from 1% to 3%. This update reflects changes in costs from our third-party international distribution partner and allows us to continue ensuring fast, secure, and compliant cross-border giving for the charities you support. If your company covers the fees for your donations, you will not see any change to your donation process
