Direct donation, also referred to as direct payment or bill pay, is an efficient electronic alternative to paper checks.  Instead of mailing a check your bank will automatically deduct an amount designated by you on a predetermined date.  Each monthly withdrawal will appear on your financial institution's monthly statement. It's that easy and you can cancel easily at any time.

Easier with Lower Processing Costs:  Direct donation is easier for you, since your bank, instead of you, will worry about making sure your donation is made.  It also reduces processing costs, which enables us to put more of your donation to work in our research and educational programs. 

Convenient:  Once you have signed up, your tax-deductible donation becomes automatic, and you don't have to do a thing.  There are  no checks to write, no payments to mail, and no concerns that your contribution will be lost in the mail.  Plus, your donation is instantly available to be applied to our mission.

Safe:  You retain total control of your account and payments.  Most financial institutions in the U.S. participate in the automated clearing house system, which allows IFCAE, with your permission, to access your account for a payment each month.  If a problem does arise, you have our personal guarantee that we will work to resolve it to your satisfaction.  It is valuable to note that problems with EFT payments can often be resolved quickly, often within a 24 hour period, whereas problems with checks often take up to two weeks to resolve. 

Stability:  By joining our monthly donors programs, you ensure a regular and predictable source of income for IFCAE projects that we can count on every month.  This gives us a greater ability to get involved in long-term projects.

Canceling:  Although we hope you will stay with us, you may at any time cancel your monthly donor program membership by calling 503-331-6681.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
