What is MDM's fee structure?
MDM charges a 6% administrative fee on donations processed through the platform. Here is a full breakdown of the fee structure:
- Administrative fee: MDM retains 6% of each donation processed as an administrative fee to cover platform, compliance, and operational costs
- Application fee: A one-time $60 application fee is required for new missionaries. This fee may be waived for missionaries joining through an approved partner organization — contact support@modernday.org to confirm eligibility
- Online processing fee: MDM passes through payment processing fees at cost. These vary by payment method — 1.2% for e-checks (ACH) and up to 3.7% for credit cards
- Background check: MDM covers the cost of required background checks — there is no fee to the missionary
Note: MDM's fee structure is designed to be transparent. If you have questions about fees that apply to your account, email support@modernday.org for assistance.
