Give




Giving online is safe, secure and easy! You may send your gift using your credit, debit card or checking account as payment through Paypal.

What security is in place?

By partnering with PayPal, we have access to world-class security, fraud prevention, and identity theft protection.

What is 128- bit encryption?

128-bit encryption is the highest level of encryption commercially available 300 septillion times stronger than standard encryption. Browsers with standard 40 and 56-bit encryption make available billions of possible keys. 128-bit encryption means that there are 2128 billion possible keys to your information and every time you access the security servers the key is changed. 128-bit SSL encryption has never been broken and according to RSL Labs, it would take a “trillion-trillion years” to crack the code using today’s technology.

Why do I hear about increased credit card fraud online?

The increased fraud is due to the ease of using previously stolen credit cards numbers online, NOT stealing credit card information while online. For example, when you give your credit card to the waiter at your favorite restaurant, he/she has the opportunity to “take notes” and could then use the “stolen” information anonymously online without a physical card. However, even this method of fraud is increasingly difficult as online credit card payments become more and more secure.

Each time you enter an area of the site that may require personal information, including online giving, we use the highest possible Internet encryption to secure your data.  At no time is your personal information accessible to anyone but you and at no time will we share our data, including email address, with any other organization.
