Overview
- The Platform is an online fundraising facility. GoFundraise acts as agent of the Not-For-Profit Organisations (NFPs) and other users of the Platform facilities (Other Clients) (Other Clients and NFPs together and each a Beneficiary) with limited authority adequate to facilitate the collection, accounting and payment of funds raised. The GoFundraise agency is limited to the delivery of online services and consequential accounting. Beneficiaries and Users are given access to functionality that enables them to create fundraising campaigns, build web pages and contact their networks. All such actions are the actions of the relevant Beneficiary or User. As a general proposition, GoFundraise accepts no liability whatsoever for the actions of Beneficiaries or Users on the Platform.
- Every Not-For-Profit Organisation (NFP) listed on this Website has a contract with GoFundraise authorising Us to collect donations on its behalf, and we take reasonable steps to substantiate the Not-For-Profit status of NFP’s during the registration and contracting process.
- Despite clause 6, GoFundraise accepts no liability for ensuring that any Beneficiary applies the proceeds received from a donation in any particular way. If a User is dissatisfied with a Beneficiary's use of any donation the User makes through the Platform, the User should contact that Beneficiary directly.
GoFundraise fees
-
GoFundraise may either offer an “optional contribution” model or at the request of the beneficiary, event organiser or platform a “traditional” service fee model with or without a Donor pay option.
Optional contribution
Under the “optional contribution” model, the beneficiary, event organiser, corporate or platform may designate that GoFundraise will advise the donor that there is the option to contribute to the running of the platform. Under this option, GoFundraise does not charge a “Traditional/Standard” service fee to the charity or beneficiary. Your support is appreciated to continue to offer this platform fee service.
Standard arrangement
GoFundraise offers NFPs flexible fee options. Under the standard fee arrangement, GoFundraise may also at the request of the beneficiary, event organiser or platform offer a "traditional" service fee model of a small service fee typically between 0% - 6% (depending on the plan of the Beneficiary and where donation is facilitated) for its services. The fee is deducted from gross donations collected on behalf of the Beneficiary. Regular giving payments are charged at 1.95% Service Fee + GST to the Beneficiary plus card transaction fees. Other transactions are charged at the rate based on their plan.
Special Event Fees
Some event organisers, beneficiaries, corporates of similar may charge a “Special Event” fee to offset the costs of administering the event this fee will be stipulated within the terms and conditions of the event and beneficiaries can choose to opt out of the event if they choose. Standard transaction charges are paid, unless otherwise stipulated by the beneficiary. GoFundraise reserves the rights to change the service fee model at anytime, all donations will occur at the described rate at the time of transaction.
Donor Pays Option
Beneficiaries may, at their option, choose one of GoFundraise’s Donor Pay Option arrangements for recovery of the fees required for the Platform to continue to provide its services. If the Beneficiary chooses these Options, then the donor is asked to tip to GoFundraise a sum of their choosing or a percentage uplift to the beneficiary to off-set the Platform Fee or to match the fees charged under the standard arrangement. - GoFundraise also recovers credit card processing fees from the gross donations. These are currently at the market rate of 1.1% (inc gst) + $ 0.20 (inc gst) per transaction for Visa & Master Card, and 1.98% (inc gst) for American Express and 2.1% for Paypal (GST exempt), Stripe charged at the designated rate based on the beneficiaries plan. These fees are subject to change without notice. Transactions to multiple organisations in a transaction may incur an additional $ 0.20 fee per beneficiary.
