When you make a donation using GiveMN.org, you may cover the 6.9% fee on behalf of Wild Paws, ensuring that 100% of your donation goes directly to wildlife in need!

During the donation process, you will be asked if you would like to cover this fee. If you select yes, 6.9% will be added to your total. Your entire contribution amount is tax deductible, including the processing fee!

If you do not choose to cover the fee, the 6.9% processing fee will be deducted from your donation before it is disbursed.


For many nonprofits and schools, Give to the Max is their biggest fundraiser of the year and your support is essential to helping power their work for the year ahead.
