How much of your donation goes to cover overhead costs?
VCF does not charge for its services. The only cost to the fundraising campaign is the fee that is deducted by paypal before the funds are transferred to VCF. For checks, zelle, or cash payments there is no charge to the fundraising campaign.
How do we do it? The VCF Board of Directors works very hard to keep overhead costs down.
We are thankful to donors who direct their donation to help cover our costs. In addition, VCF Directors regularly make contributions to ensure VCF has enough funds to cover overhead costs.
That is how we are able to give the fundraising projects 100% of the funds received, net of the paypal fee.
The expenses incurred by VCF each year include:
mailbox rental (avg $250)
website domain (godaddy $336)
