Bank Fees:

There is no charge when we deposit a check from a US bank.  The on-line credit-card processing fee to Google or Paypal is about 2% of your donation/ membership.  When you fax us your credit card, we must pay a 3.5% fee to our bank to process your donation. The bank fee for international deposits into our account is about $20.00. 

Thus:  if you mail a $500 check to FAST, the full amount is available for FAST to use for programs.  If you donate $500 on-line, about $10 (2%) goes to Google or Paypal.  If you make a bank-transfer or fax your credit card information, then about $20 from your $500 donation/membership goes to our bank as a processing fee. 

While we appreciate the convenience of credit cards, there is a small cost to FAST.  If possible, please mail your donations to:  FAST, PO Box 284, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107-0284.  Please call the Fulbright Academy at 207-799-3098 if you need additional information.
