A note about fees

When you use a credit card to make a donation to Street Lab and the Uni Project, our organization pays a 2% fee, which reduces the amount of your donation that can be applied directly to our charitable work. To avoid fees, you can send a check by mail or make a one-time or recurring donation via Facebook, which currently charges no fees for charitable donations. Thanks for your support.

(In 1704, Isaac Newton noted in his book Optiks that a prism could disassemble white light into separate colors. We’ve borrowed this idea for our donor levels above.)
