We received many times via PEF donations less than $100; credit card rhey
don't accept, that they told me clearly.
Up to now, they did not charge us anything, but that might have changed.

In my experience, they don’t charge at all.

The statement that "they don't charge at all" is not accurate. They charge
a 0.25% transfer fee, which for large donations can add up.

I have been using PEF for some 15 years and they don't charge at all for
making the transfer or take interest. A couple of years ago they arranged
for transfers and receipts to be carried out through a computerized
program, which makes life much easier.
However, what isn't obvious from their website is that the minimum sum
they will transfer is 250 dollars. The minimum donation they accept is 25
dollars, but they will sit on that until your organization has received at
least 250 dollars in donation and then transfer it. For a small
organization that gets only small occasional donations, this is a problem.
You have to register your organization with them and send all the
necessary documents, and then it is your responsibility to update your
legal documents every year (nihul takin, certified accounts, etc)

Our organization was approached by a company here in Israel, regarding
applying for grants through the P.E.F. Israel Endowment Fund, Inc.
Does anyone have any information or experience regarding the above?
Thank you,
