Pro-Tip: If a recurring gift has been set up as an anonymous donation, the donor must log in to their donor profile to manage their recurring gifts. For privacy and security, administrators cannot edit or delete anonymous gifts.

Important Notes

  • Declined Payments: If the Payment Profile is updated due to a declined payment, once the new Payment Profile is saved, the declined transaction will automatically be reprocessed.
