I dont get it. I donate to the site but write down that i donated to whoever i want? And the site takes the money? Or do they forward it? If so, why would i pay transfering fees for a donation twice?

A summary by the exchange of emails had with the developer, he is pretty fast to reply - donation is done through paypal, and there is the commission linked to the service, this is unavoidable - on 24th of this month he publishes a survey on the website, he wanted to do it on Twitter but has not so many followers. The survey shows a choice of three NGO. - the three nonprofit or NGO are chosen from suggestions that receives email. Currently only three of those who have donated, have proposed an institution. Me not :) - there is a percentage that holds the site, set at 40% because he saw that many organizations hold similar figures, not clearly declaring it but talking of generic costs, while having more revenue. - his goal is to bring the percentage to 20% in the next 30-60 days, according to the feedback he receives and the amount of donations

  Ok i understand it now. Still strange tho, i don't think i would donate to anything without knowing what. He probably should list the 3 ngos from the beginning. Lets say he donates to a "bring christianity to yet untouched indigenous peoples" or "Abortion is crime" NGO, i would feel really bad about my donation. Edit:// Ok i still did it. Now make your site famous OP so it was worth it ;)

      Oh shit. You are right, this would be as worse as my examples but way more realistic. Lets hope that it is not that.
