eGive Benefits
Not-for-Profits
eGive provides Not-for-Profit Organizations with a complete turnkey electronic solution for collecting donations that is easy, efficient, cost effective and increases giving. eGive makes good stewardship easy for the donor and affordable for Not-for-Profit Organizations. eGive pays for itself and provides Not-for-Profit Organizations with the information required for donor giving records and future campaigns (especially low-cost Email campaigns). Recurring donations can be used to sell scripts to raise funds or to receive monthly, quarterly, or annual donations using eGive. eGive is only able to accept donations for organizations located in the United States of America.
eGive's mission is to help Churches and Not For Profit Organizations and Charities to increase their giving at the lowest possible cost. For this reason eGive offers special pricing (no monthly fee until you build up to a level of 53 donations per month) to Not For Profit Organizations and Charities to free up as much money as possible for your mission.
How eGive works
Place the eGive button on your web site and when this button is clicked your supporter will be taken directly to a secure giving signup form that preselects your organization. A link to your web site will be placed on the eGive partners page at http://www.egive-usa.com/partners/.
eGive will then debit the Givers payment accounts. One credit is made weekly to your organization's bank account and your organization may access reports detailing the gifts by signing into the receiver side of the eGive system. All reports are available as csv (comma separated value) files to further automate the process of posting gifts if your giving accounting software accepts data imports. We have an API for those that want a custom interface between the eGive database and their software.
How much does eGive cost
ACH Only (Electronic Check Withdrawal)
eGive charges a One-time setup fee of $200 and all ACH items are 75 cents each with no monthly fee. This setup fee is to recover the cost of adding your organization to our secure database and creating a branded, secure online giving form that has your organization's logo, name, address and phone number. Customers (with more than 52 transactions per month) will be offered a lower per item fee of 20 cents with a monthly fee of $31 (to lower your cost). If you anticipate a volume of more than 500 recurring items per month please click on contact us in the upper right hand corner and either Email or call for an estimate of cost. If you prefer to go with the $31 per month pricing plus 20 cents per gift immediately (because you anticipate receiving more than 52 gifts per month) we will waive the $200 setup fee.
Credit and Debit Card Pricing (Acceptance of credit and debit cards is optional)
Offering the option of giving by credit and debit card will increase the amount of electronic gifts that your organization receives. People are used to paying by credit card online.
- No setup fee but you must use ACH giving to accept credit and debit cards.
- Monthly Gateway Fee $10
- The base discount rate (percentage fee) is 1.95% of each gift for qualifying Visa and MasterCard debit and credit cards, with a rate of 2.45% for tier 2 cards and 2.95% for tier 3 and business cards. Tier 2 and 3 cards include frequent flyer miles, cash back and rewards cards. Business cards also charge a higher rate. The issuers of these cards typically charge the merchant that accepts the card (your organization) a higher percentage fee so they may pay the card holder the benefits promised.
- 10 cents per transaction
eGive is responsible for the giving process from beginning to end reducing the Organization's daily burden of handling, depositing and processing checks.
eGive will encourage donors to set up a monthly giving amount but will accept one-time contributions. Place a link to eGive on your web site giving donors an easy way to make their donation online at a low cost while capturing vital donor information.
