Empower your supporters to increase their impact by covering the cost of processing their donation. Every DonorPerfect donation form offers Donor Covers Cost (DCC), a feature giving donors the option to add a small additional contribution to help offset operational expenses—so more of every gift goes directly toward your mission.
With more than 85% of donors choosing to cover processing costs, nonprofits are using this feature to increase total revenue while strengthening donor trust. Organizations using DCC often see higher average gift amounts and reduced donation abandonment, maximizing fundraising opportunities and ensuring more funds support mission-driven work.
