Oh, how we humans love innovation and making things move faster! What we don’t love as much are high fees that come with the convenience of both. Since we launched GoodChange, we’ve been looking for a way for campaigns to eliminate processing fees and keep more of their donations—and we’re really excited to share that we have taken a huge step in that direction!

From now through the end of the election cycle, GoodChange’s fees for one-time and monthly donations are a super low of 3.75% + .25 for each transaction. That’s the lowest you’ll find in a subscription-free processor. But that’s not the biggest way we’re helping campaigns save money. “Cover the Fee” is now live on GoodChange. It means that when donors opt to give extra to help out, they’ll cover the campaign’s processing fee. Imagine 100% of your donations going directly to GOTV or your mail program without any funds being lost to fees. That's not just aspirational—it's here via our "Cover the Fee" feature.Why "Cover the Fee" vs. Platform Tips is a Game-ChangerFull Transparency: With GoodChange, you get full transparency into what and how donors are giving on every transaction.
