MEMBERSHIP AND DONATIONS
thru CREDIT CARD or BANK DRAFT

Donations to PBC as well as memberships can be made by credit card and bank draft using PayPal, a highly regarded and widely used Internet payment service. Through PayPal, you can set up automatic drafts from your checking account or your credit card.

How to Donate

Payments can be made in lump-sum, quarterly, and monthly installments. Just find the level below at which you'd like to participate and click the button that corresponds to the interval you'd like to pay. This will take you to a PayPal page.

Using Paypal

Once you are directed to the PayPal site, you will have two options.

  • If you've never set up an account with PayPal, you will be asked to do so. You then can add your bank account, credit card, or both. This will enable you to use PayPal at all participating web sites, including PBC. The process will take a few minutes or so, but it is fairly straightforward. If you need to be walked through, email PBC Contribution Support and a time will be set up.
  • If you've already set up an account, you can make your donation.
