Are there fees for using Grapevine?

Grapevine does not charge platform fees for online donations made on Grapevine (via Credit/Debit Card or Bank Transfer). The only fees incurred are standard payment processing fees, which go directly to our payment partners to handle transactions. These include:

  • Credit and Debit cards via Stripe: 2.2% + $0.30 (3.5% for AmEx; +1.5% for non-US cards).
  • Bank transfers via Plaid: 0.8% up to $5 for bank transfers.
  • For example, if you wish to make a net donation of $100 to a nonprofit using a standard credit card, the total charged to your card would be approximately $102.56. This covers the processing fees, ensuring the nonprofit receives the full $100 you intended.

    Calculation: ($100 desired net donation + $0.30 fixed fee) / (1 - 0.022 percentage fee) = $100.30 / 0.978 = ~$102.56)

Meanwhile, for off-platform donations such as checks, Donor Advised Fund grants, wire transfers, and ACH payments, Grapevine charges a 3% platform fee, which helps cover the administrative costs associated with handling these manual transactions.
