Become an Automatic Monthly Partner (AMP)

The Automatic Monthly Partner (AMP) Plan allows you to actively give to FCA every month without having to remember to take the time to write checks or fill out credit card numbers on a form, and having to mail it in.

By filling out the AMP authorization form, you choose the specific amount of money you want automatically transferred from your bank account or charged to your credit card. This will happen on the 20th day of each month and will appear on your bank or credit card statement. This giving method not only saves you time and eliminates the hassle, it also helps FCA utilize your money to have the most impact on ministry. For many of our donors, it helps them budget their giving.

There is no charge for you to use the AMP program.

Each and every day FCA has a life changing impact on a young man or woman’s life through the influences of coaches, staff, and programs. Because of you, we can support area coaches and athletes with resources and training. Your investment lets us reach out and win hearts for Christ.
