Nonprofit venues on Noctern accept donations directly on their venue page. Look for the Donate button on the venue's event listing or visit the donate link shared by the venue.
Making a one-time gift
- Open the venue's donation page.
- Select a preset amount or enter a custom amount in the Other field.
- Leave Frequency set to One time.
- If multiple funds are available, choose one from the Fund dropdown.
- Optionally add a Dedication — "In honor of" or "In memory of" someone. Enter the person's name and an optional notify email (the person you are honoring can receive a notification).
- If your employer matches charitable gifts, enter the employer name in the Matching gift field.
- Enter your card details and click Donate.
You receive a confirmation email with a tax receipt. The venue's fundraising team will send a formal acknowledgment separately.
Setting up a recurring gift
Recurring gifts (called sustainers) charge your card automatically on the interval you choose.
- On the donation page, set Frequency to Monthly, Quarterly, Twice a year, or Yearly.
- Enter your amount and complete the payment.
Your card is charged immediately for the first installment and then on the same date in each subsequent period.
Managing your recurring gift
Log in and go to Profile → My giving to view your active sustainers. From there you can:
- Update your payment card
- Change the gift amount (takes effect on the next charge)
- Cancel the sustainer
See Managing your recurring donation for step-by-step instructions.
Your donation receipt email and any year-end tax statements come from Noctern on behalf of the venue. If you opted out of promotional emails, you will still receive these transactional messages — they are required for tax purposes.
