When you give, know where your donation goes
In just 30 seconds, you can help us pass a simple law that gives Californians clarity about where their donated dollars are going.
Generous Californians deserve clarity about where their donations are going.
Help us pass a simple fee-disclosure law that improves fee transparency when donating.
Where your money goes today
When you donate with a card, a meaningful slice can go to platform and processing fees instead of your cause. Many donors only learn this after they pay.
What you should see
A simple, clear breakdown before checkout: donation amount, any platform or vendor fees, payment processing fees, and the exact amount the nonprofit will receive.
What we’re asking for
A straightforward California law that requires this disclosure on every nonprofit donation. No fee caps. Just clarity so you can give with confidence.

OUR PROPOSED LAW
Clear fees. Clear impact. Before you donate.
This is a disclosure law. It does not limit fees. It gives donors the right to know before payment is complete.
What is Truth in Fundraising proposing?
A California law that requires donation platforms to show all fees and the net amount to the nonprofit before payment.
Does this cap or restrict fees that vendors can charge non-profits?
No. It is disclosure only and business-model neutral.
Who does it apply to?
Any company that facilitates donations to nonprofits, including major platforms.
What will donors see at checkout?
Donation amount, vendor or platform fees, any processing fees, and the exact amount the nonprofit will receive, shown before payment.
Why now and why California first?
Fee shock is common and transparency restores trust. The initial effort targets California through state legislation.
