As as 501 c3 organization we can accept tax deductible contributions. Our online cart is designed for those making contributions from the Support level to the Patron level. For contributions at the higher levels we use a separate Contribution Agreement document.

We manage a secure site here at Freedom Memorials. When you click the final 'Submit' button, you will see the lock in your browser's menu bar.

We use two gateways to process credit card transactions. Both are PCI compliant per the PCI Security Standards as set forth by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council.

Our primary payment gateway is Authorize.net.  We prefer you select this option because funds go directly into the Freedom Memorials account which is FDIC insured.

You can submit donations and make purchases with confidence. We have partnered with Authorize.Net, a leading payment gateway since 1996, to accept credit cards and electronic check payments safely and securely for our customers.

The Authorize.Net Payment Gateway manages the complex routing of sensitive customer information through the electronic check and credit card processing networks. See an online payments diagram to see how it works.

The company adheres to strict industry standards for payment processing, including:
• 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology for secure Internet Protocol (IP) transactions.
• Industry leading encryption hardware and software methods and security protocols to protect customer information.
• Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

For additional information regarding the privacy of your sensitive cardholder data, please read the Authorize.Net Privacy Policy.

Freedom Memorials is registered with the Authorize.Net Verified Merchant Seal program.

Support/contribution and payment data is entered in our shopping cart. When you click the 'Submit' button on the final page, your order information is sent directly to Authorize.net. We do not collect or store sensitive credit card information. They handle 100% of the processing. This is good for us since we do not have to warehouse and secure personal credit information.

If you prefer PayPal, they have one limitation that we believe is tolerable. You cannot make a contribution using a credit card of more than $2,000. This is a fraud protection regulation set up by PayPal when using their standard IPN. This is for your protection. If you would like to make a contribution over $2,000, please use Authorize.net or select the Mail In option to make your donation using your personal or business check.

Thank you for taking time to review this information.

Sincerely,

Jason Savage
President
