Recurring Gifts
Shorecrest provides the opportunity for you to make monthly or yearly gifts—without needing any reminders! Recurring gifts can also maximize the impact of your generosity. Schedule recurring gifts using our online giving form.
Pledges
Plan your annual gift of $1,000+ dollars by making a pledge of support and scheduling your payment(s) for a later date. We do encourage donors to first consider a recurring gift instead of a pledge—allowing them to maximize their gift’s impact.
Pledges under $5,000:
All pledges under $5,000 to be paid within 90 days or 3 months.
Pledges of $5,000 or more:
All pledges to be paid by the last day of the school year.
If you would like to discuss a personalized reminder schedule or schedule pledge installments to be paid with a credit card, please contact Michael Gillis, Director of Advancement, at 727-456-7514 or [email protected].
