Costs & transparency

Clear what you pay. Clear what the charity receives.

At Geef.nl you see exactly how your donation is divided before you pay. You choose whether to contribute 0% to Geef.nl or a voluntary contribution via the slider.

0% voluntary contribution

You only pay the donation amount you selected.

Costs for the charity: € 0.89 + 2.5%

Voluntary contribution of 4% to 20%

The slider defaults to 15%, but you can adjust it yourself.

The charity receives 100% of your donation

You see it directly in the donation module

Before you pay, you see the donation amount, your voluntary contribution, the total amount and the amount the charity receives.

With voluntary contribution

For example, you choose the default setting of 15%. The voluntary contribution is added on top of your donation.

Donation to the charity€ 25.00
Voluntary contribution to Geef.nl (15%)€ 3.75
Total to pay€ 28.75
The charity receives€ 25.00

The costs of € 0.89 + 2.5% of the donation amount you selected are then not deducted from the charity. You support Geef.nl with your voluntary contribution.

With 0% voluntary contribution

You only pay the donation amount you selected. The costs are deducted from the payout to the charity.

Donation€ 25.00
Fixed costs€ 0.89
2.5% of € 25.00€ 0.62
Total costs€ 1.51
The charity receives€ 23.49

The percentage costs are rounded down to whole euro cents.

Secure processing via Stichting Derdengelden Geef

Donations are processed and paid out securely via Stichting Derdengelden Geef. The foundation manages the donation funds received and handles payout to the relevant charities.

As a result, donation funds are kept administratively separate from the operations of Geef B.V. and it remains clear which money is intended for charities.

No subscription fees

Charities, associations, foundations, fundraisers and other affiliated organisations pay no subscription fees for using the platform on Geef.nl.

Costs only arise when a donation is actually processed.

Transparency with every donation

We believe you should not have to figure out yourself which costs are linked to a donation. That is why you see in the donation module in advance:

✓what you donate to the charity;
✓which voluntary contribution you choose;
✓what you pay in total;
✓which costs apply;
✓which amount the charity actually receives.
No hidden costs. No unexpected costs afterwards.Clear in advance.
