Foundation for Lake Chapala Charities

An Easy New Way to Give

Donating from afar can be difficult. Now, thanks to the Foundation for Lake Chapala Charities, donating just got much easier. You can now use your credit card, debit card or PayPal account to make donations directly to the Villa. At the website, choose giving and then press the donate now button. Fill in the form, choosing Villa Infantil as your chosen charity. When the form is completed and you choose the continue button, you will be taken to PayPal Mexico. The first box in the form allows you to change your country to US (Estados Unidos) or Canada which will change your screen to English. You may need to do this to get the proper name and address fields. You may print out a receipt when your transaction is complete. And for those of you in the US, the Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 so your donation is now tax deductible!
