DONATIONS

A portion of your donation will go toward administrative costs.

The default option for donation payment is a one-time transaction. One-time donations will only be processed as authorized for that specific transaction, per the given day.

In cases where recurring direct debit (available for U.S. banks only) or monthly credit giving options are available, you will be given the choice to select your preferred method of giving. By selecting recurring donation options, you authorize Ascend Institute to automatically transfer your gift each month from the account you provide—the transaction will appear on your checking account or credit card statement. The monthly charge date shall be the date in which the donation was initially submitted. If the monthly charge date needs to be changed, you may submit an email to info@ascendinstitute.org or call 419-704-3802 and request for the monthly date to be changed.

The financial institution you identify on the donation form is authorized to debit or charge your donation to the account indicated. This authority will remain in effect until you have given Ascend Institute at least 10 days notice that this authorization has been terminated. Please understand that you must give advance notice to allow reasonable time for your instructions to be executed. If ever an incorrect amount should be entered into your account, you authorize your financial institution to make the appropriate adjustment on your behalf.

*In cases when a month does not have 30 days, the transaction will be made on the following business day.
You can increase, decrease or suspend your gift by calling 419-704-3802 or by sending an email to info@mhfund.org.
