Submitting Donations by PayPal or Credit or Debit Card
We make it easy to join the Pennsylvania Freedom of Information Coalition. You can submit your membership information and dues right here online using PayPal, which is the authorized payment processor for the PaFOIC.
What is PayPal?
PayPal is a system that enables you to send donations online, and us to receive them, either by using a PayPal account or a major credit or debit card. PayPal is a trusted leader in online payment systems, and has more than 100 million member accounts in 103 countries and regions.
Is it safe to use?
PayPal helps protect your credit card information with industry-leading security and fraud prevention systems. Your credit card number is NOT shared with the PaFOIC.
What do I have to do?
Go to our Join Us page and select a membership level by clicking on one of the suggested donation amount buttons. (You may enter any amount you wish on the next page, no matter what button you select.)

- Type in the dollar amount you wish to donate in the Price box.

Review Your Payment

How do I know my donation has been accepted?
That's it! You will receive a payment confirmation for your records. Since your donation to our non-profit organization is tax-deductible, you will want to print this confirmation and keep it for your records.
What if I change my mind about paying online?
You may cancel the process at any time before you click on the Pay button.
What if I'd rather send a check after all?
No problem. Return to the Join Us page and click on the Join by mail button at the bottom of the lefthand column. You can fill out a PDF membership form online, print it out and mail it to us with your check.
