Our Sponsors
The International Center of the Upstate is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. Financial support for the ICU comes from private donations, corporate contributions, grants, class fees and business services, and individual memberships.
ONLINE GIVING
The ICU
provides the secure Click & Pledge Online Payment System
as a
convenient way for donors to contribute to the organization online.
The system allows the ICU to accept contributions made with Visa,
MasterCard or Discover credit cards. For those donors who are uneasy
about providing financial information online, the system also allows
contributors to pledge donations, print invoices and send their
payments to the ICU via U.S. Mail.
