Set up a recurring gift

You can set up a monthly gift on the /give page. To give weekly or yearly, or to direct a recurring gift to a specific fund, use the giving assistant. Either way, your card is charged automatically on schedule and each gift goes straight to the organization.

Give monthly from the Give page

1. Go to /give and click Give on the organization.
2. Under Frequency, choose Monthly.
3. Pick an amount or enter Other amount (USD).
4. Decide whether to cover card processing (the box is ticked by default).
5. Click Give. The button shows the monthly total, for example Give $51.81 / month.
6. Pay on the secure checkout. Your first gift is charged now, and then every month.

When it goes through, the thank-you message includes a Manage this monthly gift link. It opens Stripe's secure page, where you can update the card or cancel.

Give weekly, monthly or yearly with the giving assistant

The giving assistant is free for every signed-in member.

1. Sign in, then open /giving and click Ask the giving assistant, or go straight to /concierge?agent=giving.
2. Tell it the organization, the amount and how often: weekly, monthly or yearly. If the organization has funds, you can name one. Say whether you want to cover card processing.
3. The assistant prepares the gift but charges nothing. Go to your dashboard and find it under Approvals.
4. Open the request, check What exactly will happen, and click Approve. You're taken to Stripe's secure checkout to pay.
5. After paying, you come back to /giving with a thank-you message, and Stripe emails your receipt.

Keep track of it

If you were signed in, the gift appears under Recurring gifts on /giving with its amount, frequency and status:

• Active: charging on schedule.
• Paused: no charges until you resume it.
• Payment failed, retrying: the last charge didn't go through and Stripe is trying again.
• Awaiting the first payment: the first charge hasn't cleared yet.

Each charge is listed under All gifts and counts toward your yearly statement.

To change, pause or cancel it, see Change, pause or cancel a recurring gift.

Good to know

• The Give page offers One time and Monthly only. Weekly and yearly gifts are set up through the giving assistant.
• A recurring gift set up without signing in doesn't appear on any giving page, and the giving assistant can't manage it. See Give as a guest or signed in.
• Each gift must be between $1 and $25,000.
