Three Ways to Give
Ignore this
1. One-Time Donation
Make an immediate impact with a single gift. Whether it’s $10 or $1,000, your one-time donation provides individuals with the support, scholarships and guidance they need to succeed in higher education and beyond. It’s quick, secure and greatly appreciated.
2. Monthly Giving
Support students all year long with a recurring monthly gift. Choose an amount that fits your budget and enjoy the convenience of automatic giving—no reminders, no hassle. Your steady support creates lasting change, one month at a time.
3. Round-Up Donations
Turn everyday purchases into extraordinary impact.
With Round-Up Donations, giving is effortless. Just link your debit or credit card once through the secure, online portal below, and every time you make a purchase, the total is rounded up to the nearest dollar. The spare change is automatically donated to College Now, helping individuals access the education and support they deserve.
How Round-Up Donations Work
- Link your card securely through our trusted partner, Harness.
- Determine how much to donate – a minimum of $10 per month.
- Spend as usual – whether it’s groceries, gas or your morning coffee.
- Each transaction is rounded to the next dollar.
- Your spare change is collected and donated automatically.
- Each month, you will see a charge from Harness on your credit or debit card statement delineating the amount donated.
- Your gift will never exceed the threshold you set, and it can be modified or canceled whenever you choose.
For example, if you spend $3.45, we round it up to $4, and $0.55 goes to College Now. These small amounts add up quickly, and together, they make a big difference.
You’re in control — set a monthly cap so your giving always fits your budget. It’s effortless, secure and incredibly impactful.
