Credit or debit card

Make a credit or debit card gift through our secure online form.

We process gifts from US taxpayers through Network for Good, a registered US non-profit organisation that provides fundraising services to charities. 

Network for Good charges a 5% fee for their services, comparable to other credit card processor rates, which you may also deduct from your taxes.  If you prefer not to make your gift through Network for Good, please contact us at donate@st-andrews.ac.uk or scroll down to find out about other convenient gift vehicles.
