What is a Charity Registry?
A Charity Registry is similar to a regular gift registry, except
that your couple has asked guests to make credit card donations rather than
purchasing blenders, toasters, or other traditional gifts.

Does the I Do Foundation charge processing fees?
Yes. The I Do Foundation charges fees to cover the costs of processing your donation. We charge a fee of 8% of your donation for checks, which is deducted from the donation. The fee for credit card donations is 8% of your donation, which is added to your donation, so the entire amount of your donation is passed directly to the charity chosen by your couple. These fees are consistent with most other nonprofit donation websites.

Why is my credit card charged by JustGive?
On November 2, 2009, I Do Foundation became a part of JustGive. Donations made through I Do Foundation are now processed by JustGive, so your credit card statement will list JustGive rather than I Do Foundation.
