Where your donation goes
Two parties take something from an online donation: Dasig, and whoever moves the money. Below is exactly how much each one takes, at every gift size, with both named. If you would rather neither of us took anything, that option is here too.
Online giving isn't switched on yet. These are the rates that will apply when it is. Today, gifts are arranged directly with the organizer and recorded on the campaign page, so nothing is deducted at all.
The two charges, and who receives them
The Civic Sustainability Contribution is 4%, and it goes to Dasig. Not a platform fee and not a subscription — it is the share of each donation that sustains the platform, which is why organisers pay nothing to run a campaign, collect donations, coordinate volunteers or issue credentials, and are never sent an invoice.
GCash takes 3%, and Xendit takes ₱11. Xendit is our payment provider — the company that connects Dasig to GCash and every other method, and that flat ₱11 is theirs, charged once per transaction. Neither amount reaches Dasig or the campaign. The flat part is what matters most, because it does not shrink when the donation does.
Worked out, at every size, through
| You give | Campaign gets | Dasig | GCash | Xendit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₱50 | ₱35 | ₱2 | ₱2 | ₱11 |
| ₱100 | ₱82 | ₱4 | ₱3 | ₱11 |
| ₱500 | ₱454 | ₱20 | ₱15 | ₱11 |
| ₱1,000 | ₱919 | ₱40 | ₱30 | ₱11 |
| ₱5,000 | ₱4,639 | ₱200 | ₱150 | ₱11 |
Notice the GCash column shrinks with the donation while the Xendit column never moves. On a ₱50 gift the campaign keeps ₱35, and most of what went missing was that flat fee rather than any percentage. It is why we tell you to skip us entirely on small gifts.
Or cover the costs yourself
At checkout you can choose to pay the costs on top so the campaign receives your whole gift. On a ₱500 donation through GCash that means paying ₱548 instead of ₱500, and the campaign receives the full ₱500 rather than ₱454. It is never preselected for you.

Rates read from Xendit's published Philippine rate card on 16 September 2026. A method appears here only once its real rate is confirmed, so this list grows as we verify more of them — four honest numbers beat eight estimated ones.
How to give without Dasig taking anything
Every campaign can publish the organiser's own bank account or e-wallet. Transfer straight to them and Dasig receives nothing, the payment provider receives nothing, and the full amount arrives. The organiser records the gift against the campaign, attaches proof, and it counts toward the goal like any other donation.
We are aware this is an odd thing for a platform to advertise. It is already how more than half of all giving on Dasig happens, and we would rather say so than have you find out from someone else.
