Where is the RCAF?

[KACajun]

I'm looking for the website so I can donate to the annual fund but can't find the link. I've only ran across the UL Foundation website, are they using the same website? I haven't seen any decals on vehicles in town, have any of you gotten yours yet?

Quick question...I went to give online, and on the pulldown menu it had an option for RCAF Annual Fund and an option for athletics...is there a difference and what is it?

I have another question: I want to setup my payments in installments over the membership year, but I'm not being prompted to setup that payment plan. I will have to donate much less if I have to pay in one lump sum. Does anyone know how to setup the installment pay plan?

I had the same problem and emailed them. after 3 emails basically they stated that it could not be done at this time..(even though it states you can on the website) plus the website makes me feel like I'm making a purchase at amazon.com..not very user friendly..

My advice to you is to stop by the athletic department (if you live near Lafayette) and ask for a RCAF donation card. There you can write in your donation amount, where you want the funds withdrawn from (checking or credit card, etc), and how often you want the funds withdrawn.

In the future, it would be nice if we could have the website set up to take monthly payments.

A check?.. You mean like looking for a pen and writing a check and walking to and from the mailbox...every month!..whew!

We knew this weeks ago when it came out. They've set it up as best they can for the current time. If you want to do a payment plan, then print out a form and you can pick any option or call them. Eventually, there will be an option to set up your monthly, etc payments. I think a possible issue was that this started a few months into the year so you couldnt set up to do quarterly now, otherwise, you would only pay 3/4 of your promised donation or monthly and only donate 7/12 of your months. Maybe next year or hopefully at the end of this year, we can set up donations for 2010 before the year starts.

Donate to the RCAF option. The difference is that's how you get credit for your donation to the RCAF so you can be recognized (gifts, parking passes, etc)

That's what I was told to do with my online payment, but how will they know what level member we are?

I dunno. I email Farmer regularly and he assured me that it was covered.

You could print out the donation form and send it in with your first check or by itself with a note saying you have donated already.

Haha, I was wondering the same thing. I'm gonna slap my sticker on my truck as soon as it comes in.

I guess that's why I haven't seen the RCAF swag around town.

From Mr. Farmer:

If you are going to write a check monthly, I recommend that you complete a pledge card that informs us of your total contribution for the year and how much you will pay monthly. This is very important information for us to process. Obviously, we want to total your gifts for 2009.
