What are UWGLA’s administrative fees?
UWGLA charges a Cost Recovery Fee (or Administrative Fee) for designated donations to any specific charity other than United Way (e.g. the Red Cross or Children’s Hospital). Standard Administrative fees are 8% for eWay electronic processing and 9% for all other processing, with a maximum fee of $500.00 per year, per donor. However, if you donate to our Creating Pathways Out of Poverty Plan, no cost recovery or administration fee will be assessed, allowing your gift to reach more people in need. Cost Recovery Fees help cover the cost of our internal controls and infrastructure needed to provide the highest level of quality assurance to our donors.
