2.  Sign up for regular, recurring contributions to EKF.

Supporters who would like to give to EKF on a regular basis are encouraged to participate in an electronic banking arrangement through the Country Bank in Aledo, Illinois.  We have arranged a convenient way for EKF donors to make periodic, tax deductible, contributions to the Foundation.  Country Bank in Aledo, Illinois has established a cash management program to assist us in this endeavor.  Under this arrangement, an individual donor can authorize an electronic fund transfer from their specific checking or savings account at their bank to be deposited directly into the EKF account on the 1st of each month. This is an arrangement that can be processed between the Country Bank and any other bank in the country. It’s up to each individual donor to determine the amount of their monthly contribution.

Signing up for periodic contributions is easy. Simply complete the Debit Authorization form, attach a copy of a voided check, and drop them both in the mail. There is no processing fee of any kind to the donor for this periodic payment. The funds transfer will appear on your regular monthly account statement as an ACH payment to the Erika Kate Foundation.
