Online Giving FAQs

• What if I forgot my User ID and/or Password?
  At the login page, click on the Account help button and follow the instructions.

• Can I designate my donation?
  Yes. Contributions can be directed to a particular fund (for example, General, Sedaqah, Building, Missions, or other specific accounts).

• Can I determine the frequency of my contribution?
  Yes. You can make either a one-time gift or schedule a regular gift, whether it is weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. You can modify or cancel scheduled contributions any time prior to the designated transaction date. Once the contribution has been processed, however, it cannot be canceled or refunded.

• How can I be assured of the privacy and security of my personal information?
  For your protection, we have taken a number of steps to maximize the security of financial transactions that are accepted on our website. Credit card and bank account processing is accomplished using secure processing services. Your entry of this information is encrypted and scrambled when transmitted.

  The online giving registration form requires you to give us contact information (name, address), and demographic information (date of birth). Evergreen-LA will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. This information is stored in your file in a secure environment separate from our website.

• What can I do after I create an Evergreen-LA Online Giving account?
  

  • Register for upcoming events, classes, and groups.
  • Make secure on-line contributions (no need to re-enter your personal information each time you give).
  • View your giving history - up to two years (please allow up to five business days for your giving history to be updated).
