Monthly Gifts
Do you give monthly already? Save checks and postage by setting up an automatic monthly gift from your checking account via EFT. You can also make an automatic monthly gift through a recurring donation on your credit card.
Your regular gifts can make an even greater impact when you sign up for our electronic donation program.
Benefits to you:
- Eliminates the minor frustrations and cost of writing checks and stamping envelopes

Q: When will my contribution be deducted from my account?
A: Your electronic contribution will be debited on the date you specify on the authorization form.
