On-Line Giving

Yes, it is possible to give on-line.  Using our donation interface (powered by PayPal), you can support the "Building on Strength" campaign without writing a check, stuffing it in an envelop, and posting it.  Instead, a few clicks is all it takes, beginning with a click on the "Donate" button below.

Pay Pal acceptedIt is not necessary to be a PayPal member to donate by credit card through the PayPal interface.  If you would like more information about PayPal, click here.  If you have specific questions about our use of PayPal, click here.

Using PayPal to make Credit Card or Quasi-Cash donations.

PayPal is one of the most successful and common electronic banking services.  PayPal members, have long enjoyed the easy to use interface and flexibility of the service.  Fortunately, rent changes make it possible for non-members to on-line credit card donations.  The instructions are easy to follow, and PayPal has an excellent reputation for reliability and security.  If you are uncomfortable doing this, don't.  We use PayPal because it is so common and easy to use.  Still, we value your peace of mind more than our convenience.  We do pay a small service fee on every credit card transaction (2.9%+30¢), but it is worth it.
