How you can help your local Republican Party

Donation Information

As you know, it takes money to run an effective organization. Also, it takes money to raise money. For example, it is very expensive to solicit funds via traditional mail. In addition to the expense of materials and postage, mailings are very labor intensive.

For your convenience and to reduce our mailing expenses, we are now accepting credit card donations utilizing the Click and Pledge service (www.clickandpledge.com). Click and Pledge assists organizations, foundations, nonprofits, and political parties to reach out to their constituency by making it easy to process donations online.

ClickandPledge.com Corporation is a certified licensee of the TRUSTe Web Privacy Seal Program. TRUSTe is an independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to build users' trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the use of fair information practices. TRUSTe's Privacy Standards and Principles are consistent with government and industry guidelines concerning the use of your personal information. These standards include the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data, the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Commerce's Fair Information Practices, the California Online Privacy Protection Act, and the CAN-SPAM Act.

When the donation form asks you to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is 256-bit encrypted for your security and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as the donation form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just 'surfing' .

In addition, Click and Pledge does not share any of your information with third parties. If you are interested in more information concerning Click and Pledge's commitment to your privacy, please see their complete privacy statement. In addition, feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

The Donation Process

Here is how the donation process works. You simply click on the Click and Pledge icon below. A new window will pop up and you enter the amount you wish to donate, your contact information, and credit card details. Then, click SUBMIT to make your donation.

We currently accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Card. The Click and Pledge processing fee is 4.75% of the donation amount. Keep that in mind if you want us to receive a specific amount. Although Click and Pledge has the ability to handle the American Express Card, we currently do not accept American Express because the processing fee is ouch! 8.75% of the donation amount. We felt like that was too much.

At this time, we are only processing donations. However, in the future, we may also have products for sale such as T-shirts, political novelty items, etc. so be looking for those later.
