Recurring Donation

A recurring donation is a financial contribution made by a donor on a regular, ongoing schedule, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually, rather than as a one-time gift. These donations are typically processed automatically through electronic payment methods like credit cards or bank transfers. Recurring donations are often set up through nonprofit websites or fundraising platforms, enabling donors to support causes they care about with minimal ongoing effort. For nonprofits, recurring donations provide a steady, predictable stream of revenue, making budgeting and planning easier. They also foster long-term relationships between organizations and their supporters, increasing donor retention and lifetime giving.
