  • Why are we moving to a new platform?
    Many donors have asked for the option to see their donation history or change their scheduled donations. This new platform, though more complicated, will allow donors to manage and view their donations. We feel this platform is a better fit for our needs.
  • Only part of my January 2018 donations appears in my account. Where are the rest of my January donations?
    The two platforms are separate; therefore, donations in the old will not appear in the new. If you prefer to have a record of all your January 2018 donations available online, wait for the new platform. In either case, all of your 2018 tax-deductible donations will appear in your donation summary.

    No. If you would like to continue with scheduled donations, they must be rescheduled on the new platform. If you request the Finance Team to enroll you, your scheduled scheduled donations will be copied from the old platform. This can be updated once you are using the new platform.
