Use the secure donation form provided and select "EFT" as your giving method.
Online
Online giving is fast and secure
From your computer or phone, access Westmont's secure donation form. Select a designation from the drop down menu, or select "Other" and enter where you would like to direct your gift. Giving methods include Visa, MC, AMEX and EFT.
Payroll
Payroll giving is offered by some companies.
