Donate Now for 2026
Pay it Forward makes it easy for you to make your 2026 QEE tax credit donation by the deadline of March 13, 2026.
New for 2026! Donate via ACH with No Fees!
Pay it Forward Scholarships is now offering taxpayers the ability to donate via ACH with no processing fees! Donating via ACH is easy, convenient, and secure! ACH donations eliminate the risk of a check being lost in the mail by ensuring your donation is received promptly, and they eliminate the processing fees associated with using a credit or debit card.
Because there are no processing fees, donating via ACH also allows PIFS to pass on 92% of the donation to the designated school. Click on the button to request access to the secure form, authorizing Pay it Forward Scholarships to make a one-time debit to your bank account.
Donate via Debit or Credit Card
Taxpayers can donate via credit or debit card through PayPal processing services. A PayPal account is not required.
PayPal’s processing fees of 1.99% of the total transaction + a $.49 per transaction fee are among the lowest around for the convenience of being able to use your debit or credit card to donate.
Taxpayers can now choose to cover the PayPal fee in their donation, sending the maximum amount of funds to the school, or they can elect to have the PayPal fee deducted from their donation, reducing their donation by the amount of the fees stated above.
