This does make me feel better—thanks. I’m just entering college and don’t even have a bank account yet, but your post inspired me to get one fast so I can donate whatever I can afford within the matching window :)
Transaction fees for non-profits such as MIRI on PayPal are 2.2% + $0.30, and the processing is automated with our donor database solution so it’s definitely net positive :)
$10.00
I’m a student and this is my second PayPal transaction ever, so I was a bit scared to donate more.
Hopefully my example will inspire anybody else. $10.00 isn’t very much, but come on, it’s not like it is worse than not donating anything at all.
It did. Also a student, just made my first donation. Whaddya know, public announcement of donations really does motivate!

Thanks!
Could be, if the transaction/processing/etc… is more. I think $10 is enough to be a net positive, but I’m not sure where the threshold is.
