  • There are preset amounts you can choose from, or you can type in a custom amount.

Important Note- Square does charge our non-profit a fee on each transaction for using their platform. The fees are the following as of March 2026.

  • Tap, dip, or swipe: 2.6% + 15¢

  • Online API: 2.9% + 30¢

Example: If you donate $100 through our online portal, Square will charge The BEACON Institute $2.90 + 30¢ for a total of $3.20. Meaning our nonprofit will receive $96.80 of your donation.

Thank you for your support!
