Monthly Giving Club

If the idea of simplifying the membership donation process … eliminating the need for annual renewal notices … increasing the value of your support … and helping reduce Five Valleys’ administrative costs interests you, then you should consider becoming a member of our Monthly Giving Club.

Similar to other automatic monthly payments you might make for a mortgage or other fixed payments, you can authorize a set amount to be transferred from your checking/savings account or charged to your credit card each month and deposited directly into Five Valleys’ bank account.

Why monthly donations?

• Automatic donations increase the value of your support by reducing administrative costs in processing your donations.
• Without the need for annual renewal notices, monthly donations help save Five Valleys’ resources and postage costs.
• You can put your donation to work right away without any mail or processing delays.
• By donating monthly, your tax-deductible donation will be spread throughout the year.

Best of all, becoming a Monthly Giving Club member is easy.  Regardless of whether you are joining as a new member or would like to renew your membership by switching to monthly donations, just choose from the two options below and follow the easy directions:

1) Monthly Donations from your checking/savings account or credit card-- To authorize monthly donations from your checking or savings account, just follow these steps:

1. Download and print Five Valleys’ Monthly Donation Authorization Form.
2. Using one side of this form, indicate whether you want the donation to come from your checking / savings account or from your credit card; the day you would like the donation to be processed, and the amount of the monthly tax-deductible gift you wish to make.
3. If choosing checking / savings account withdrawals, be sure to attach a voided check or blank deposit ticket from your checkbook to your authorization form. For credit cards, fill in the required card information.
4. Complete the rest of the form and mail it, along with any necessary attachments as indicated, to Five Valleys Land Trust, PO Box 8953, Missoula, MT 59807.

Once your automatic monthly authorization is processed, every month the donation amount you indicated will be deducted from your checking/savings account or charged to your credit card.

2) Instead of filling out and submitting the form above, you can initiate monthly donations from your checking / savings account or credit card yourself.

1. Go to our secure Online Donations page.
2. Chose the Recurring Donation option.
3. Enter the desired amount of your recurring donation.
4. Select the frequency for your recurring gift (monthly, quarterly, etc).
5. Complete the rest of the on-line form with your checking / savings account information or your credit card information, name, and address

Each month your credit card will be charged for the amount you indicated.

Regardless of whether you chose to make monthly donations from your checking/savings account or with a credit card, if you move, change banks/credit cards, or wish to change/stop your monthly donations, simply write us or give us a call.

To show our appreciation of your monthly commitment, in addition to your usual membership benefits we’ll send you a Five Valleys’ Monthly Giving Club travel mug.  Use it on the road or to save resources when you visit your favorite coffee shop, and let it remind you of the impact your support has on our efforts each day.

Knowing that the support of members like you is there for us each month allows us to focus even more time and effort on land protection.  Thank you for becoming a member of our Monthly Giving Club!
