Update for 23/06/2013  23 June 2013

WOW, you - the community are incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I know Bruce and Iris are very embarrassed if anyone mentions doing things like this for them. I say, its their fault for having done so much in the community and leaving an impression that people remember and want to give back. We have achieved the goal, and the donation period closes in a few days. you are all awesome.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
