Recurring Electronic Giving

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is a monthly giving option designed to make your support of °µÍøTV easy, cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Hope offers this popular automatic contribution option, providing donors with flexibility and convenience.

How does it work?

Donors then recommend grants, over time, to the organizations they wish to support. Clients of Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable and BNY Mellon can easily make a designation to °µÍøTV through the DAF Direct window on this page.

It also helps maintain and improve the college's national recognition.

Every gift, regardless of the amount, makes a difference. Thank you for participating!
