Ways To Give

List of 2 items.

  • Online Giving

    Gifts can be made quickly and securely at vbsds.org/give. Donors can give using credit card, debit card, or ACH transfer.

    Important Note: When making a gift under $3,000, donors will see a blue box at checkout that says: “This platform is powered by Blackbaud at a reduced cost to us. Contribute 9% to them to continue this support.”
     
    The system automatically selects this box. Donors should uncheck this option before completing their donation if they do not wish to pay a 9% processing contribution to Blackbaud.
  • Payment Options

    • Recurring Payments: Can be set up monthly, quarterly, or in a single installment.
    • Pledge: Donors can make a pledge now and pay anytime before June 30, 2026. You may choose to fulfill your pledge in one payment or in installments. 
    • Matching Gifts: Can be setup through employers — many companies will double or even triple employee contributions.
