The New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research (NJCCR) charges a credit card processing fee of 2.3% of the donated |
amount plus $0.50, which donors can add or deduct from their gift by selecting one of the options above. This fee is used |
to pay banks, credit card companies and other administrative costs. The NJCCR does not profit from the fees.*

*Once you know that there is a fee, you may wonder if giving directly to a cancer research organization would avoid all costs. |
However, the charities themselves incur fees when processing donations. In fact, donating through the New Jersey |
Commission on Cancer Research may save these charities money because the Commission's processing fees are relatively |
low. Many charities have to pay more to credit card companies. Moreover, giving online saves the charity postage and |
check processing costs. |
