A. If you're not sure how to get started, or if you just want an overview of how making a donation on our site works, follow the simple steps outlined below.

1. Decide whether you would like to receive a thank-you gift or just simply make a donation.
2. If you prefer to receive a thank-you gift for your donation, visit our thank-you gifts hub and select the thank you gift you would like to receive. Once you've found a thank-you, select the “Quantity” you want and click "Add to Cart" and that gift and its donation amount will be added to your total. All of your gifts will be displayed with a subtotal. At this point, you can continue browsing, finish making your donation, or cancel your entire donation. You can increase the amount of your donation to include up to five thank-you gifts per donation by searching for additional gifts and adding them to your cart. You can also add an additional gift with your order at anytime. When you are ready to complete your transaction and send your donation, click "Proceed to Checkout." You have now entered our secure server. Just follow the on-screen directions to complete our simple form. If necessary, you can then delete items on your list by selecting the check box in the "Delete" column.
3. To simply make a donation, visit our secure, online No Thank-You Gift donation form. Complete the simple online form and process your donation with a credit card. All of your donation will go towards more quality programming on THIRTEEN.
4. THIRTEEN's online donation forms are secure and encrypted for your protection. All credit card numbers submitted to the site are encrypted using "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) encryption, which is the industry standard for information security and is used by more than 100,000 Web sites in more than fifty countries. Any personal information you submit with your pledge is encrypted and completely secure. Even in the unlikely event that the information you send is intercepted it will not be usable by anyone else.
5. Your peace of mind and safeguarding is very important to us. If you do not feel comfortable submitting your personal information online you can donate by phone by calling us at 1-800-468-9913.

If you have any further questions, please email our Member & Viewer Relations Department at membership@thirteen.org.

A. On average, you will receive your thank-you gift six to eight weeks after your pledge payment is processed. If it has been longer than this, please contact us at membership@thirteen.org.

A. THIRTEEN depends on support from individual donors like you in order to continue bringing you the finest educational, entertaining and thought-provoking programming without commercial interruption. The special programming we offer during our fundraising drives help us to raise the funds to continue producing the programs you enjoy throughout the rest of the year. Please note that we have actually reduced the number of days we pledge each year and continue to look for ways to keep the amount of on-air fundraising to a minimum.

A. To save money for the quality programming you expect from THIRTEEN, we print and send out renewal notices in bulk. This means that it takes several weeks for a renewal letter to get to you. As a result, your renewal gift and our letter probably crossed in the mail.

A. Because it's so important that we keep our members, we start sending out renewal notices in advance of your membership's expiration. If you renew early, you'll still get a full year's membership; your membership will be extended for a full 12 months from your current expiration date.

A. Thank you for sending in your donation right away! Our donation invoice may have crossed in the mail with your check. Please disregard it. If you receive more than one donation invoice after mailing in your check, please email us at membership@thirteen.org and we will verify your donation payment.

A. We are currently working to provide our members with an online member portal that will allow you to access information about your membership online and hope to have it available in 2023. In the meantime, you can access information about your recent donations, expiration date and thank you gifts using our automated phone system by calling (212) 560-2888. If we have your phone number in our records, the system will recognize you. If not, you can enter your membership number, found on your MemberCard or the back cover of your program guide to access information about your membership and giving history.

A. You can see your expiration date on your Member Card or on the back cover of your monthly Program Guide, above your name and address. You can also access your expiration information using our automated phone system at (212) 560-2888 and pressing 2 for Membership information.
