NOTE: our administrative fee changed from 5% to 3% on October 1, 2021. This post has been updated accordingly.
As our complete COVID-19 response plan explains, our staff is currently working from home with brief in-office visits when necessary. We’ve made a convenient option available to our community: eChecks. Here’s everything you need to know about this feature.
Do I need to opt in? No, all Help Hope Live campaigns are already eligible to accept donations via eChecks.
Is there a fee? As with all digital donations, a 2.65% third-party processing fee applies to eChecks in addition to our low 3% administrative fee.
How do eChecks work? Like with credit cards, supporters can select eCheck as their Payment Type when they make a donation. Once they have selected eCheck, they will be able to add key information such as name, bank name, and routing/account numbers:
Select eCheck from the dropdown on a donation page
Add key information, and you're all set!
Feel free to share this Blog post with anyone who might want to support your Help Hope Live fundraising efforts. Once we return to our offices, we will coordinate the process of voiding physical/mailed checks.
