New Donation Platform for Secure Online Giving & Your Year End Donation
Starting with our Year-End Giving appeal, we are transitioning to a new online payment system called Donorbox.
Key Changes to Know
When you donate, the payment page will have a new look and feel.
- Secure Platform: You will see the Donorbox logo on our new forms, ensuring a secure transaction.
- New Payment Options: Online payments are accepted via credit or debit card, as well as other methods supported by the new platform.
- PayPal Change: PayPal is no longer a payment option. However, if you currently use PayPal for recurring payments, your existing contributions will continue without interruption.
Optional: Help Cover Processing Fees
Donorbox includes a feature that allows you, as a donor, to optionally cover the associated processing fees for your payment. This helps the Zen Center lower the overhead of fees required to receive online payments, meaning more of your contribution goes directly to our mission. We sincerely appreciate your consideration in helping us with these costs, but please know that this is entirely optional, and you can opt out at the time of payment.
Easier Giving: Create a Donor Account
As part of the checkout process, you have the option to create a Donor Account. This is entirely optional, but it offers several benefits:
- Faster Future Donations: Save your information for quicker checkouts.
- Management: Easily manage, track, and update all your contributions, including setting up and modifying recurring donations, all in one place.
Prefer to mail your gift?
As always, you may donate by check. Instructions for mailing your contribution are provided on the online donation form.
Thank you for your continued support of the Zen Center. We are ever grateful for your generosity.
If you have any questions or concerns about our new online payment system, please email us at admin@zencenterofsyracuse.org.
