Nonprofit venues on Noctern accept donations online. Look for the Donate button on the venue's page, or use the donate link the venue shared. You don't need an account to give.

Making a one-time gift

1. 1Open the venue's donation page.
2. 2Leave One-time selected in the row of buttons at the top.
3. 3Click a preset amount, or type your own in the Other $ box. The smallest gift is $1.
4. 4If the venue has more than one fund, choose one under Designate to.
5. 5Decide whether to cover the card fee. The box "Add … to cover the credit card processing fee" is ticked to begin with; untick it if you'd rather not. The fee portion is not tax-deductible.
6. 6Enter your first name, last name and Email. The email is required — your receipt goes there.
7. 7Optional: tick Make this gift anonymous to be left out of public recognition.
8. 8Optional: tick Dedicate this gift, choose In honor of or In memory of, and enter the person's name. Add a Notify email if you want someone told about the gift, and tick Share my gift amount with them if they should see the amount.
9. 9Optional: tick My employer matches gifts and enter the employer's name, so the venue can follow up on the match.
10. 10Check the Gift, Credit card fee and Total lines, then click Continue to payment.
11. 11Enter your card details and click Donate.

You see Thank you for your gift! and a receipt is emailed to the address you gave. The venue may also send its own thank-you letter.

Setting up a recurring gift

Recurring gifts (called sustainers) charge your card automatically on the schedule you choose.

1. 1On the donation page, click Monthly, Quarterly, Twice a year, or Yearly instead of One-time.
2. 2Enter your amount and details and complete the payment as above. The Total line shows the amount and how often it will be charged.

Your card is charged for the first installment when you give, and then automatically each period after that. The first installment is receipted by email; for a record of later installments, download your statement — see below.
