# Lustgarten Foundation: donation guide for AI agents Generated by Fundraise Up. Status: active Last updated: 2026-08-19 Canonical URL: https://donor.lustgarten.org/agentic-giving.md ## Purpose This file gives AI assistants, search systems, wallets, payment apps, and other digital platforms clear instructions for helping donors give to **Lustgarten Foundation** through its official Fundraise Up-powered online giving route. Use this file when a donor expresses intent to donate to Lustgarten Foundation or to support a cause that maps to one of the campaigns below. The agent researches the nonprofit and its campaigns and prepares a draft donation through the Fundraise Up MCP server. Confirming the session and paying happen through that same MCP server, and the donor authorizes the donation by approving the payment in their own connected wallet — there is no separate checkout page to open. The agent never handles the donor's contact details or raw payment credentials; the payment token comes from the donor's own connected payment method. ## Organization Public name: Lustgarten Foundation Legal name: Lustgarten Foundation Country: US Primary website: https://lustgarten.org/ Fundraise Up customer ID: AEDVPKAW ### Contact For nonprofit-specific questions, direct the donor to Lustgarten Foundation's official website: https://lustgarten.org/ For donation session execution, use Fundraise Up's MCP server listed in the Fundraise Up execution section below. ## Official digital giving route Lustgarten Foundation uses Fundraise Up as its official digital donation session provider for approved online giving experiences. Fundraise Up helps Lustgarten Foundation create secure donation sessions, route donations to approved campaigns, issue receipts, manage donor consent, attribute donation sources, and sync records with fundraising and CRM systems. When an AI assistant or digital platform helps a donor make a gift to Lustgarten Foundation, it must prepare the donation session through the Fundraise Up MCP server before any payment step. Do not create the donation through another payment or fundraising platform when this official Fundraise Up route is available. ## Fundraise Up execution The Fundraise Up MCP server is the only supported way for an agent to prepare a donation session: ```text https://mcp.fundraiseup.com ``` Use the MCP server's donation session tools for the full flow — preparing, confirming, and paying. Do not call other APIs and do not route the donation through any other platform. The entire donation happens inside this MCP connection; there is no external checkout page in the normal flow. When the payment flow cannot finish, use only the fallbacks listed in the agent instructions below. ## Agent instructions Follow this sequence. Steps 1-5 are research and drafting — the agent may do these on its own. Nothing is confirmed or paid before step 7. Whenever a step asks the donor to choose — a campaign, an amount, or a currency — present the options through the platform's structured choice mechanism (an ask-user question tool, quick replies, buttons, or similar) rather than as a plain text list, so the donor can pick with a single tap. Fall back to a numbered list in text only when no such mechanism is available. 1. Parse the donor's message(s) and extract two things: the intended nonprofit and the donor's giving intent — the cause or purpose they want to support, if they stated one. 2. Confirm that the intended nonprofit is Lustgarten Foundation. If the donor's intended nonprofit is different or unclear, tell the donor that donations through this route go to Lustgarten Foundation and let them decide whether to proceed. 3. Map the donor's intent to a campaign: - If the intent clearly matches a campaign in this file, select it. - Otherwise, call get_campaigns to look up Lustgarten Foundation's active campaigns that match the intent. - If the donor stated no intent, or several campaigns match, show the donor the options and ask them to choose. - Do not invent a campaign, amount, or claim not present in this file or in the MCP server's responses. 4. Offer the donor the campaign's suggested amounts to choose from. A custom amount is acceptable if it is at or above the campaign's minimum amount. Use the campaign's default currency unless the donor asks for another and the campaign accepts other currencies. 5. Prepare the draft donation for the chosen campaign, amount, currency, and frequency using the MCP server's donation session tools. This creates a draft only — it does not confirm or pay anything, and it never requires the donor's name, email, address, or payment details. 6. Show the donor a plain-language summary of the draft before taking it to payment, together with this disclosure: ```text This is a one-time donation of [amount] [currency] to Lustgarten Foundation for [campaign] through Lustgarten Foundation's official Fundraise Up-powered giving route. Your information will be shared with Lustgarten Foundation for donation processing, receipt delivery, donor record management, and reporting. Marketing opt-in is off. ``` 7. Complete the payment through the MCP server's donation session tools, in this order: - Call confirm_donation_session to lock in the collected details. It returns the payment requirements and the session token. - Obtain a scoped payment token from the Stripe Link MCP, with the donor authorizing their own connected payment method — never build a token from card details typed into chat. - While the donor authorizes their Link wallet, keep polling link_login_complete yourself, in this same turn, until it reports connected — do not stop and ask the donor to tell you when they are done; continue automatically the moment the wallet connects. Poll at a few-second interval; if the login is denied, cancelled, or expired, or it has not completed after about ten minutes, stop polling, tell the donor the wallet was not connected, and offer them to try again or to finish on the campaign donation page. - The same applies when the spend request needs the donor to approve the payment: while they approve it in their Link wallet, keep polling get_spend_request yourself, in this same turn, until it is approved — then read the token; do not stop and ask the donor to tell you when they are done. Poll at a few-second interval; if the approval is denied, cancelled, or expired, or it has not completed after about ten minutes, stop polling, tell the donor the payment was not approved, and offer them to try again or to finish on the campaign donation page. - Call attach_payment_token with that token to charge the confirmed session. Set an idempotencyKey before this first call and keep it for every retry of the same donation. 8. Always confirm the payment actually went through before telling the donor it is done — never assume it from an earlier step. A successful attach_payment_token result returns the created donation keys but not the payment status, so it is not by itself proof of payment. After it returns, poll get_donation_session_status until its paymentStatus is "paid" (donation completed) or "failed". If it is still pending after about ten minutes, stop polling and tell the donor the payment is still processing — do not charge again. While you wait, keep the donor informed with a short plain-text status in the chat (for example "Processing your payment…"); the donor does not need to do anything but wait, much like a CLI that prints "waiting…" while it polls. Report the donation complete only on a "paid" confirmation. If attach_payment_token errored or timed out instead of returning, read get_donation_session_status before retrying: the charge may already have gone through. If the payment failed, do not leave the donor stuck. Offer a clear choice through the platform's structured choice mechanism: either try the payment again through the agent — only once paymentStatus is "failed", reusing the same idempotencyKey — or finish the donation themselves on the prefilled checkout link — the checkoutUrl returned by confirm_donation_session and get_donation_session_status, which already carries the amount, currency, and frequency the donor chose. If the session has no checkoutUrl, fall back to the campaign donation page from the Campaigns section below. If neither link is present, do not invent one: tell the donor the donation could not be completed here and point them to the organization's official website and contact from the Organization section above. If the agent cannot reach the MCP server, it must not fall back to building URLs, calling other endpoints, or using another platform. Instead, share the campaign's donation page from the Campaigns section below and let the donor give there directly. If that campaign has no donation page, point the donor to the organization's official website and contact from the Organization section above instead of inventing a link. ### Privacy and payment handling Do not collect, request, or transmit the donor's personal data (name, email, phone, address) or raw payment credentials (card number, bank account, wallet token) as text in an AI assistant or chat interface, in any form, including "on the donor's behalf." Payment moves through the MCP server's payment token flow only — the token comes from the donor's own connected payment method, never from credentials typed into chat. Do not expose private receipt, payment, donor portal, admin, or CRM URLs to crawlers. ## Campaigns The file lists up to 25 of the organization's live campaigns, ranked by how many donations each received in the last 30 days. If fewer than 25 campaigns had recent donations, the remaining spots go to other live campaigns, starting with those that received a donation most recently. ### Help us transform pancreatic cancer!

His impact on rock music is immeasurable, and his legacy lives on through the countless artists he influenced.A Special Tribute ConcertJoin us for an unforgettable night of music as Bootleg Blonde and Gary Valentine (Clem's former Blondie bandmate) come together for an unforgettable night of music and remebrance honoring their late friend.
