GiveGenius currently has a one-time onboarding fee for all new participating charities. This fee supports your setup, configuration, website integration support, verification, and access to the full GiveGenius toolset. ### Will fees change in the future? GiveWise is in the process of developing expanded partnership tiers and additional support options for charities. As our platform grows and new features are introduced, some fees or program structures may evolve. Any future changes will be shared clearly in advance so charities can choose the level of service and support that best fits their needs. Processing costs for certain donation methods may also change over time as we expand giving options and integrate additional payment technologies. We will always communicate these updates transparently. *** ## Privacy and Security ### How does GiveGenius protect the privacy of charities and donors? GiveWise takes security and privacy seriously. All data within the platform is encrypted, stored within a secure network environment, and protected through multiple layers of access controls and monitoring. Our systems follow strict data protection standards and are continually reviewed and improved. Information shared by donors and charities is used only for gift processing, reporting, and compliance purposes. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy and integrity of every charity and donor who uses our platform. *** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://guide.givewise.ca/for-charities/givegenius-introduction/fees-and-privacy.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
