How does a monthly donation work?
You can join c89.5 as a Monthly Donor by donating from your checking or savings account, with your credit or debit card, or through payroll deduction from your employer (contact your HR deparment or visit your company intranet). Monthly payments are processed on the same day every month and renew automatically each year, unless you specify otherwise.
Many companies, and the State of Washington, allow employees to use payroll deducation for monthly donations. Several advantages of payroll deduction include automatic matching by your employer, lower administrative costs, and not having to worry about the expiration of your credit card.
