Give

You have options for giving!  

NOTE About Credit Card fees: In an effort to reduce the costs of merchant fees associated with online giving, FUMC is implementing a new button on our Simple Church platform that will allow users to elect to cover a 3% processing fee. 

FUMC continues to offer PayPal as a giving platform, however, PayPal does not include the convenient percentage calculation for gifts. We encourage individuals to evaluate their gifts and if they so choose offer an additional small contribution towards covering these costs, which typically hover around 3% of a one-time offering. All additional payments towards online giving fees will remain tax-deductible and will be included on quarterly and year-end statements accordingly. 
In addition, if you appreciate the automatic monthly giving option, prayerfully consider switching to ACH (automatic clearing house) which is a fee-less automatic bank-to-bank transfer. You can find more about how to set this up with our Membership & Financial Secretary Michelle Cooper below (#4)
