*Temporary, only applies in April 2025. After evaluation the period can be extended or become permanent.
However, in rare cases, the transaction costs can be a bit higher due to the type of payment method used. For example, if the payment was made in a different currency or with a non-EU or business credit card, the type of credit card can increase the costs.
To continue to offer the WhyDonate platform for free, the donor is asked for a voluntary tip.
You can also remove a tip option from the donation form if you prefer not to show it to the donor.
