Donating

Thank you for just for being here.

We’re here to guide you through the donation process.

We are using Every.org for our donations.

Donate

There are several payment methods you use to donate.

Payment Apps/Digital Wallet

You can use these online payment platforms:

  • Venmo

  • Google Pay

  • Apple Pay

  • PayPal

Please note that there is a transaction fee associated with each of the above platforms. The fee is a percentage-taken off your total donation.

Example:

For instance, a $10 payment through Venmo incurs a 1.99% + $0.49 transaction fee. The net donation on our end totals at $9.31

Credit Card

You can use any of these credit cards:

  • Visa

  • Mastercard

  • American Express

Please note that there is a transaction fee associated with each of the above platform. The fee is a percentage-taken off your total donation.


Example:

A $10 payment through a Visa card incurs a ~2.2% + $0.30 transaction fee. The net donation on our end totals at $9.48

Fees are subtracted from the total donation.

Bank

You can choose to pay through your bank.

There are no fees associated with bank direct payments.

Please note that Every.org uses a 3rd-Party app to process payment. It is called Plaid.


Process steps:

  1. On the donate page, press the ‘Donate’ button.

  2. Select ‘Bank’ from the side menu.

  3. Choose your donation frequency at the top.

  4. Enter the donation amount.

  5. Press, “Continue with Bank”

  6. Choose a donation for Every.org (optional)

  7. At the bottom, press “ + Add Bank “

    At this point you are taken to the Plaid portal. The purpose of Plaid is to link your bank account to Plaid for payment processing.

  8. You can choose to add a phone number or, if you scroll down, you can add without a phone number.

    1. If you add without a phone number, you will arrive to an Institution page. If you verify with your phone number, you may have your accounts appear, or, you can select ‘add account.’

  9. On the “Choose your institution page", you can scroll down to the bottom and add with account numbers. If you choose this method, you will have to verify a code in your own bank’s recent activity. After entering your bank routing and account numbers, Plaid will send a $0.01 deposit for the verification, which is a three-letter code. You will be prompted through this process.

  10. If you choose your bank institution, you will be taken to your bank’s portal and it will ask you to enter your login ID and password. If you feel insecure in this process, we encourage you to stop and choose to add with just account numbers.

You are invited to watch a walkthrough example below. ⬇️

If you ever feel unsure about your donation process, you are encouraged to stop.
