Gift Processing Fees
You are likely aware that there are various ways you can make a financial contribution to St. Francis. But did you know that how you give affects how much of your gift benefits St. Francis rather than covering processing fees?
The table below lays out the possibilities and illustrates charges incurred for a $100 gift. Notice that among the most secure (non-cash) options, giving by check is the least expensive for the parish. Also, especially for large gifts, the fees associated with debit and credit cards are much greater than those associated with other forms of payments.
