The Museum is using new online ticketing platform called Zeffy, which is specifically geared towards nonprofits. Zeffy is free for nonprofits to use, and doesn’t charge a credit card processing fee. When you click the link to purchase your Museum Membership, you will be asked to add a contribution to keep the platform free. If you do not wish to contribute, or you would like to contribute a different amount, simply click the % box and select ‘other’. Then you can put in however much you would like. This platform also gives you the option to renew your membership automatically, so you won’t have to worry about letting it lapse!
