Gifts made online require use of a credit card. The Community Foundation is assessed a fee of 2.598% for processing of credit card gifts plus 26 cents per transaction. Consequently, the amount of the fee will be deducted from your gift. To avoid any bank fee, you may make your gift by check in person or by mail to: Community Foundation, 4455 W. Lawrence St., Appleton, WI 54914. If you want to contribute enough to cover your intended gift amount plus the credit card fee, use this calculator.
