We want to make giving as easy as possible! Here's what you should know about donation limits.

Per-Transaction Maximum

The maximum amount for a single transaction is $999,999.

๐Ÿ’ณ Credit/Debit Cards & Digital Wallets

  • We're able to process any card donation as long as your card issuer approves it!

  • Note: Your card issuer may still set its own daily and per-transaction limits. If you're planning to give a generous gift, we recommend checking with your bank ahead of time to confirm your limits.

๐Ÿฆ ACH (Bank Transfer)

For added security, any ACH donation over $5,000 will be placed on a brief hold (3โ€“5 business days) while your bank confirms the transaction. Timing can vary by institution.
