**Card vs Check

Question: What is the difference between giving electronically by check versus using a debit or credit card?

Answer: Foothills welcomes both contributions by electronic check and credit or debit cards. However, when you give by credit/debit card Foothills will pay a percentage of your gift to the credit card processing company. If you make your contribution by electronic check, the cost is fixed and just pennies per transaction. The church and its ministries will benefit most from your donation when you give by electronic check.
