New FREE Fundraising Platform
This year, the PA is testing out a new, FREE fundraising platform only for non-profits called Zeffy. This will save the PA thousands of dollars in software licensing and processing fees. Cool, right?! Zeffy will suggest you make a small donation to the company when you make your gift to the PA - but please know, there is no pressure to do so - just select 'Other' in the dropdown field and type in $0. 

Also, as a 501 (c)(3) organization, the MCH PA is eligible for corporate giving programs. You can usually find us by our EIN or Tax ID number: 91-1960800.

​*If you do give directly through your employer, please fill out this Pledge form instead so that we can count it towards our goals! Unfortunately, Zeffy doesn't yet have an actual pledge form, so we apologize for the slightly wonky experience. 

Make Your SEED Gift
