• Important Note on Off-Platform Donations

While we gladly accept off-platform donations, it's important to understand that these methods can take several weeks to process and for funds to reflect in your Giving Circle account. These transactions involve external channels beyond Grapevine's direct control. Therefore, we cannot guarantee specific processing times, nor can we be responsible for delays or any loss of funds that may occur during transmission through third-party financial institutions. For the fastest and most reliable way to ensure your donation reaches its destination, we strongly recommend making your contribution online via grapevine.org.
