Below are the reasons you might be getting a card validation error:

1. Are you using a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card? You can use these credit card types to make a donation to a fundraising page or nonprofit start page.
2. Are you using an international debit card? FirstGiving is not set up to take international debit cards. Please use international credit cards only.
3. Have you entered hyphens (-) or spaces in the card number box? If so, please remove them.
