Q.
How safe is it to pay online by credit card?
A.
The Society for Nonprofit Organizations takes the issue
of security very seriously. We use 128 bit SSL
encryption with Thawte digital certificates. This
level of encryption is the strongest commercially
available level, and is used to protect your information
as it crosses the Internet. Nevertheless, we
understand that people are still skeptical about the
Internet. You are more than welcome to submit your
membership application by mail/fax. We have
provided a PDF form that you can print off and send in
for those that prefer this method.
Q.
My question has not been answered here. What
should I do?
A. If your question is
still unanswered, please submit your question through
our feedback form or by
calling 734-451-3582. We want to make sure that
you feel comfortable in becoming a member. We will
do everything possible to get back with you ASAP.
