Does the ASF charge any fees?

It is free to sign up with the ASF.  As we are a small non-profit, we do retain a small percentage of all donations to cover the costs of running a fundraising platform and to provide fundraising support to many organisations, clubs and individual fundraisers. To cover these costs, we retain 5% of online donations and 6% of manual/offline donations. 



If a donor donates by credit card or Apple Pay/Google Pay, the following merchant fees apply:



• Direct Debit / EFT: 0.0% fee per transaction
• Mastercard / Visa: 1.0% fee per transaction
• American Express: 2.0% fee per transaction
• Apple Pay / Google Pay: 1.7% + 15c fee per transaction



These fees will be deducted from the donation amount allocated to the nominated project, however, donors have the option to "top up" their donation to cover these fees so more money goes to your project.
