Django 1.11 TypeError context must be a dict rather than Context

Just received the Sentry error TypeError context must be a dict rather than Context. on one of my forms. I know it has something to do with Django 1.11, but I am not sure what to change to fix it.

Offending line

message = get_template('email_forms/direct_donation_form_email.html').render(Context(ctx))

Entire View
