    • To make a donation using a credit card, you will be required to provide personal details, including your full name, identification number, email address, phone number, country/region, mailing address (including postal code), name and type of organization (if applicable) and payment information. Please note that donations and purchases are currently available only from Israel and the US and as otherwise allowed by SNC.
