March 2017 News from the Emmaus Road Treasurer!
2016 Giving Statements: The 2016 Giving Statements went out by e-mail in mid-February to those people that provided e-mail addresses, and are in the process of being mailed out to everyone else this week. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. You can reach me at treasurer@emmausroad.net.
New Online Donation Portal: Emmaus Road has a new online giving portal, which is very cool (if I may say so myself!). Click the link below and check it out!
This online portal will:
- Handle a one time donation from your credit card or your bank account (or by Apple Pay starting in April 2017);
- Handle a scheduled recurring donation from your credit card or your bank account (or by Apple Pay starting in April 2017);
- Send you a donation receipt via e-mail with every donation;
- Account for your donation in your Giving donor profile (so that you can look up your donation history any time you want);
- Automatically transfer the funds to Emmaus Road right after the donation is made (PayPal requires us to manually transfer funds, and then has a delay while the transfer processes).
If you want to make online donations to Emmaus Road, I encourage you to try this new online giving portal instead of PayPal, and let me know what you think.
That said, if you are a PayPal fan, that is a-ok too, you can stick with your routine! And, if you make donations by check, that is of course absolutely fine. This is just a new opportunity for folks who prefer to donate using an online option.
2017 Giving: All said and most importantly, THANK YOU for your generous giving to Emmaus Road -- it is your donations that make the work of Emmaus Road possible. Know that your giving spirit and monthly donations are truly the financial core of all that Emmaus Road does, and will continue to do, as we keep moving forward into 2017.
With Gratitude,
Your Emmaus Road Treasurer,
Christina Nelson
