Pathway Partners Program (Regular Giving the Easy
Way!)
- Do you make a regular gift (weekly, monthly or quarterly) to
Jeffco Action Center?
- Do you write a check or have a credit card processed for your
donations?\
- Are you so busy that sometimes you forget (or remember late)
to get your gift to Jeffco Action Center?
- Would you like the challenges associated with making a regular
gift removed?
If you answered yes to any of these questions (or even if you didn't),
then Jeffco Action Center's new regular giving program, "Pathway
Partners" may be the answer for you!
Pathway Partners is a program that allows you to make a regular
gift to Jeffco Action Center without any hassle or worry. All you
will need to do is fill out the Pathway Partners enrollment form
and Jeffco Action Center staff will do the rest.
Then, at the end of the calendar year, you will receive a receipt
from Jeffco Action Center and any EZ forms you will have qualified
to receive. At that time you will also have an opportunity to change
your regular gift if you desire.
In this program, Jeffco Action Center staff will securely and safely
debit your checking or savings account directly through our bank.
This will occur on the same day every month. The processing fees
associated with this program are a fraction of the processing fees
associated with a credit/debit card.
Click here to download the
enrollment form so you can get started as soon as possible. If you
have any questions or want more information about the program, do
not hesitate to call Joe Haines, Director of Development at 303-237-7704,
ext. 204 or email him at joeh@jeffcoac.org.
