purchasing blenders, toasters, or other traditional gifts.

Does the I Do Foundation charge credit card processing fees?
Yes. The I Do Foundation charges fees to cover the hard costs of processing your donation. We charge a fee of 4.75% of your donation for checks, which is deducted from the donation. The fee for credit card donations is 4.75% 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. The processing fee will not exceed $47.50, regardless of donation size.
