Lesson 5 of 5

Managing your recurring donation from your profile

Patron

You can manage all your recurring gifts (sustainers) from your Noctern profile without calling the venue.

Go to ProfileMy giving to see your active sustainers.

Each sustainer card shows:

  • Venue name
  • Amount and interval (for example, $50 / month)
  • Next charge date
  • Card on file (last 4 digits)

Updating your payment card

  1. Click Update card on the sustainer card.
  2. Enter your new card number, expiry, and CVC.
  3. Click Save card.

Your next charge uses the new card. The old card is removed from this sustainer.

Changing the gift amount

  1. Click Change amount on the sustainer card.
  2. Enter the new amount.
  3. Click Save.

The new amount takes effect on the next scheduled charge — not immediately. Your current-period giving is not adjusted.

You cannot change which fund your sustainer goes to. Contact the venue if you need to redirect your gift to a different fund.

Cancelling a sustainer

  1. Click Cancel on the sustainer card.
  2. Confirm in the dialog: "This stops future charges. Past gifts stay on your record."
  3. Click Confirm cancel.

Cancellation is permanent. Future charges stop immediately. To resume giving, visit the venue's donation page and set up a new sustainer.

Viewing past gifts

Below your active sustainers, the Past gifts section lists every donation you've made. Click Download statement next to a year to get a PDF giving statement — useful for tax deduction records.

Year-end tax statements from the venue include all your gifts for the year in one document. They are sent automatically in early January regardless of your email marketing preferences.
