MEMBERS AND GUESTS IN THE UNITED STATES can now contribute to the Association or pay member dues using Your PayPal account.

PayPal offers several different ways to send money to others, but their Giving Fund recognizes organizations like ours as charities, and therefore ensures that neither you nor the Association are charged a fee for your contribution. The PayPal Giving Fund has set up a specific page where you can submit your contribution to the Phinney Association. Please note that at this time, only contributions from the United States are being accepted via PayPal Giving.

If you’d rather contribute by check, download the contribution and change of address form (available as a Word doc or as a PDF) and send it by mail. You can also use the dues statement we recently sent you.

If you’d like to contribute through PayPal, it’s important that you fill out the form on this page and then donate through the Giving Fund, rather than use the PayPal mobile app or the general PayPal website to donate money or pay member dues.

There are a few steps to make a contribution through PayPal:

1. If you do not already have a personal PayPal account, you’ll need to create one.

2. Fill out this form, which lets Association administrators know who you are, and how you’d like your contribution to be allocated.

3. Once you submit this form, you’ll be redirected to PayPal’s Giving Fund. There, you can enter your donation amount again and complete your transaction.

4. When completing your transaction on the PayPal Giving Fund page, please make sure “Share my name and email with this charity” is checked, because we need your information for the reports we receive from PayPal. PayPal offers suggested donations, but you might prefer to fill in an amount under “Other (USD)”.
