1) Enter the cash giving experience from the organization's website.

Click the Donate Credit/Debit/ACH button to give cash.

You can either choose a pre-set value or type in a donation amount on the top line. Then click "NEXT".

3) Select contribution information

Choose whether you'd like this gift to be sent once, weekly, every two weeks, monthly, or on the 1st and 15th. Select a campaign and subcampaign if you'd like to designate this contribution for a specific fund or ministry location.

4) Log in using a phone number or email address

Enter your phone number to log in and give. You will be sent a one-time passcode to access Overflow. You also have the option to select "Use Email Instead" if you'd prefer to receive the one-time passcode to your inbox. You will never have to set up a password on Overflow. Your phone number or email address will act as your username for all future donations.

5) Input or select payment method

Enter a new credit or debit card or your bank account or select one that is already on your account.

TO DONATE USING A CREDIT/DEBIT CARD

Select 'New Credit/Debit Card." You'll see a screen appear that allows you to add information for a credit/debit card. Tap "Save" to confirm. Checking "Set as default payment method" will charge all future donations to this card.

TO DONATE USING A BANK ACCOUNT (ACH)

Select 'New Bank Account". A screen will appear to detail how Overflow uses Plaid to securely link to your bank account. (Scroll to the FAQs at the bottom of this article to learn more about Plaid and Overflow's security protocols). Click "Continue" to proceed.
