Your card data never touches our servers.

You'll be redirected to Stripe to complete payment.

GIVE→ALIGN keeps $0. Your gift goes directly to Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation (less standard Stripe processing fees). We never share your information with anyone.

Why a small fee?

Stripe — our payment processor — charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (2.2% + $0.30 for nonprofits/NGOs on Stripe's charity rate). Like every legitimate donation platform, we pass this fee through to make the transaction possible. GIVE→ALIGN itself takes nothing.
