- On the website experience, Apple Pay and Venmo are only available to donors on a fundraiser’s personal and team pages. Currently, Apple Pay and Venmo are not available on the general donation form, registration, or tributes/luminaria. We’ll be working to add more payment options to these experiences in 2025.

- Please contact us within 30 days from the date of your donation if you identify an error in the amount of payment or to report unauthorized use of your credit or debit card. We are available to assist you at 1-800-227-2345.
- Donor can’t complete a Venmo donation when the link is selected on the Facebook mobile app.
- The donor can select the more option (three dots in the top right of their device) and select open in external browser. They can also copy and paste the link into another browser. This is due to limitations with Meta.
