Donation Options

You can use your credit or debit card, or an electronic check which transfers the funds to the church directly from your checking account. Both debit cards and electronic check transfer funds out of your existing checking account, but it costs less to use electronic checks. If you wish to use electronic checks, you must become a Registered Donor, which authorizes us to transfer funds from your account into the church's account. 

Types of Cards Accepted

Presently only ATM and debit cards with the VISA and MasterCard logo are accepted. As the use of ATM and debit cards become more standardized and universal, we will expand our acceptance to other cards. 

Donations by credit card can be made using VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express cards. 

Organizations Accepting Electronic Checks, Debit and Credit Card Donations

We can only processes your donations for the Churches and Organizations that have registered with us. Find out by clicking on the Make an Online Donation link on the Home page, then searching for the organization by name or location. If you can not find the name of the church or organization, we will not be able to process your donation to that organization.

What if my Church has not Registered

Inform the appropriate administrator or committee of your church that you would like to make a donation through "MyChurchDonations.com" so you can use your ATM, debit or credit card to make your contributions. Ask them to register with MyChurchDonations.com to make this possible. If your specific local church does not want to accept your card contributions, consider donating to another church that has registered with us, or check to see if a higher administrative body of your religious denomination has or will register with us to accept your donations.
