I noticed that transfer companies usually charge fixed amount for each transaction, so donating $1 can easily incur 30%+ fee.
So I would like to find a rule of thumb to minimize the fees yet cover all projects I like

Any tips?

Do you have a source to back this? Not to say I don’t believe you but I am legitimately curious

Wow that’s obscene, especially the steep rise over the years. I’ll stop donating to them.
