Donate via Debit or Credit Card
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.
You have the option to cover the PayPal fee, sending 92% of your donation to the designated school or you may elect to have the PayPal fee deducted from your donation, which will reduce your donation by the fees stated above.
