United for Giving (Benevity) BEWARE

After years of giving I had a non profit reach out to me about a check they received. Evidently, Benevity takes a large cut of our donation match and the recipients just receive a check in the mail with no explanation, no contact information, and absolutely no idea who triggered the donation. Those comments that we enter into the form, that are supposed to go to the recipient, never make it to the recipient.

Very eye opening. You would think that something would accompany the check. You'd also expect some sort of disclosure about the percentage of the match being withheld by Benevity. Very disappointing.

Exactly what the last poster said... It's on the non-profit org to set up their Benevity account and EFT and then the fee won't be taken. It's not some UHG conspiracy.

I give all year and they do not take a fee out if the recpient uses an electronic funds transfer. In the information on their site it says they take a fee from checks.

Have the non-profit update to electronic funds transfer. They go into their Benevity account for check information and can see what it is for.
