In an effort to offer sustainable and more flexible giving options to parishioners, the parishes of Boone County have recently adopted a new platform to enable online giving. Vanco Payment Solutions was selected as the service provider for our use. Sacred Heart and St. John were on the way to implementing this system when the crisis surrounding the Coronavirus began and it was quickly launched in the first week of Mass suspensions. St. Malachy, as of May 4, has also subscribed to the same service after weeks of using a diocesan provided online giving resource. This method is attractive for a couple of reasons.

Flexible
The platform accepts your choice of credit card, debit card, or ACH. One transaction can be split for multiple collections or projects. Offering options include tithe, improvement, dollar collection, and seasonal or special collections. In the future we hope to be able to also accept registration fees, dues, and donations for the organizations and programs operated out of our parishes. 

Control
Parishioners are able to start, stop, or change their offering 24hr/day 7day/wk. Setup onetime or recurring offerings, and easily change your payment method. The seemless integration with the current contribution software utilized by our parishes guarantees that each offering you make is credited to you and reflected in your offering statement.

How it works
You can find the donation platform by going to the giving page on the Boone County Catholic website
boonecountycatholics.org/give. Find your parish at the bottom of the page and click the button. This will open up the donation form.

To make a one time contribution, simply fill out the amount you wish to give and next to "Donation Frequency" select "One Time". Click continue and fill out your payment method and information on the next page. Press the "Process" button and your donation will be submited.

Recurring giving can be setup to give you more control over the frequency and size of your gift. On the same donation page simply select the "Create Profile" button and follow the steps to setup an account with our platform provider.

There's an app for that
You can also make your contributions from your mobile device by downloading the app which can be found on the App Store and Google Play for free.
