How to make an electronic donation to Faith United Church

The Presbyterian Foundation, in cooperation with Vanco Payment Solutions have made it possible for you to make secure electronic donations to Faith United Church. 

Here's how it works:

If you are a first time donor, you will want to have your credit card or bank account information at hand.  When you click the "give now" button below, you may immediately fill in the amount you wish to donate and which church funds you want it to go into (general fund, building fund, or special offerings).  On the next screen, you fill in your credit card or bank account information.  You will be given the chance to save the account information in a "profile" so you don't have to manually re-enter it every subsequent time you wish to make a donation.  Finally, you click to submit your donation.  It's that easy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to create a profile?

No, you do not have to create a profile in order to donate, but there are advantages of doing so such as not having to re-enter your credit card or bank account information every time you want to make a donation and being able to look up your donation history.

Is there a processing fee taken out of my donation?

Yes, Vanco Payment Solutions charges a 2% processing fee. You may elect to have the processing fee added to your donation so that the church receives the full amount you originally intended.

Can I set up automatic, recurring donations?

Yes, you can.  You can make changes to the schedule or the amount at any time by logging into your profile.

Can I get a receipt for my donation?

Yes, your receipt will be sent to the email address you provided.

Is my credit card/bank account information secure?

Yes. Vanco Payment Solutions meets or exceeds all industry standards to safeguard your data. To help ensure your data stays safe, we leverage technology such as tokenizing card data and encrypting sensitive information for transmission and storage. 

How do I tell you which special offering fund I want to donate to?

On the second donation screen (where you enter your bank account/credit card information) there is a box labeled notes where you can type in the name of the special offering fund.  For example: "One Great Hour of Sharing".  If you are donating to the general fund or the building fund, it is not necessary to type anything in the notes box.
