    Thanks for looking and any amount is appreciated... one, two, five, more? My wife is participating and works for this non-profit. Even if you cannot donate, I appreciate you looking. From my wife Michele: Red's Road Race can be either a 5 mile run or a 3 mile walk that raises money to meet much needed funding for local non-profit organizations that provide very important services in my local community. I work for one of those non-profits, Developmental Services and Behavioral Health of Strafford County. Better known as Community Partners. We provide a variety of services to a variety of clients with different levels of need. Ages covered range from newborn to the elderly. Please help me raise funds for such a worth cause.

    Is there a phone number to call? Giving my CC info online like this is a tall order.

    For this event, no one can take credit over the phone so all the participants were all instructed to use GoFundMe as the secure site for credit transactions. GoFundMe has a great reputation and is highly regarded plus your donation goes directly to the non-profit.

    Thank you for checking and thanks in advance should you decide to donate. It is greatly appreciated!

    The full donation goes to the cause? No admin. deduction?

    Correction... I just found out GoFundMe keeps 4.25% for processing the donations and cutting the check for the non-profit. However, on the non-profit side, no administration fees or deductions. They use the funds to provide developmental and behavioral services for those in need. These are typically folks who need this help but are not able to afford it. This is why the funds go directly to the non-profit and their tax ID is provided on the link.

    Thanks!

    I found my answer a while ago, but didn't want to rain on your parade. I thought I'd tell you this (I see you've edited your post), but GoFundMe uses a 3rd party payment company (FirstGivings) take a little more than you've indicated here. Non-profit or not, 100% of your wife's charity funds don't go to the cause.

    Please read your agreement. Anyway, good luck with the fundraiser!
