Giving

Options (Zelle, PayPal, Check) and instructions are given below.

Is a recurring, monthly donation to CFDM something you would consider? Monthly donations allow CFDM a much greater ability to plan and provide retreats and workshops. CFDM offers its spiritual direction program below its cost - this is done because of generous donors who appreciate the value of this life changing program and want to keep it as affordable as possible. Recurring monthly donations can be set up in Zelle, PayPal, or sent in each month. Thank you!

To Donate Online

Option 1: You can send us donations and tuition payments via Zelle (from your bank, or via the Zelle mobile app). Our Zelle email address is pas930@gmail.com (Pamela Strickland, CFDM bookkeeper). You can learn more about Zelle by visiting your bank’s website or Zelle at https://www.zellepay.com. Note: Zelle is preferred over PayPal as there is no transaction cost to CFDM.

Option 2: Use your PayPal account or any major credit card. Click on the Donate button below. Note: Each online transaction costs CFDM a 3% ease-of-use fee. Increasing the total amount of your gift accordingly means CFDM programs receive the entire amount you intend.

To Donate by Check

Make your check payable to CFDM Northwest (or CFDM NW).

Please note Donation (or the Program Name):

Thank you for partnering with us to make a difference!


We invite you to participate with us in making it possible for men and women to fulfill their calling to our Spiritual Direction program. Your gift, whatever the amount, will make a difference in the people we are blessed to serve, teach, and train. Your generosity can translate into a monthly offering, or a one-time gift, whichever you choose. We appreciate your donations which allow us to subsidize each participant’s tuition, offer scholarships and compensate quality staff. Your donations make a difference!

Remember to check with your employer if they offer donation matching!

“The scholarship I was offered has been a divine blessing. The program is about learning how to be a companion with others on their spiritual journey… Enhancing my relationship with God is the key to being able to walk alongside others on their path.” - Karen

“…My year in the program was a year full of growth in my relationship with the Trinity...it was like drinking from a well of water I had never tasted before.” - Janet

“It was a wonderful year of growth and expansion for me—I feel like my hunger and capacity for more of God increased greatly, actually over the course of the two years of Formation 1&2” - Keith

Occasionally, for fundraising campaigns, we will use Pledge for donations:

We are registered on Pledge.to (Pledgeling Foundation) and you can find us there under nonprofit “Christian Formation and Direction Ministries NW”. You can also use this direct link to our fundraising page. All donation will be directed to CFDM Northwest. Each online transaction costs CFDM a 3% ease-of-use fee. Increasing the total amount of your gift accordingly means CFDM programs receive the entire amount you intend. Please note for the separate "tips" field (which does not go to CFDM) you will choose "other" and put in $0.00.
