This chart shows how easily a small gift given each month can add up to a larger donation by making those gifts through EFT.

For Example: Enroll in the EFT program by July 1, 2020 with payments of $84 per month your accumulative total gift would be $1,008 by our fiscal year end June 30, 2021.

Begin in the month of August your monthly payment would be $91 each month for 11 months for a total of $1,001, or begin in the month of September 2019 your monthly payment would be $100 each month for 10 months for a total of $1,000 by our fiscal year end June 30, 2020.

Money is withdrawn from your account on or around the 5th of every month.

The new 2020-21 Fiscal Year begins 7/1/2020.
