Set up, manage, and cancel recurring gifts in your giving account. Learn to schedule automatic donations at your chosen frequency and adjust them whenever your circumstances change.
How to Create a Recurring Gift
Step 1: Access Your Organization's Giving Page
Visit your organization's website to find a link to their giving form. If your organization offers text giving, you can text GIVE to their number and you'll receive an automated response with a link to their giving form.
Step 2: Select the Recurring Tab
Once on the giving form, select the Recurring tab to set up your gift.
Important: Your organization's form may vary slightly in features, as we allow organizations to customize forms to meet their needs.
Step 3: Enter Your Gift Details
- Enter a dollar Amount for your donation.
- Select a Fund from the dropdown.
- Choose the Frequency (weekly, monthly, annually, or another schedule).
- Choose a Start Date.
- Enter your payment details.
- Click Submit.
Your recurring gift is now scheduled and will process automatically on your chosen frequency.
How to View Your Recurring Gifts
- Sign in to your giving account using your email, phone number, or MinistryID.
- Click the Scheduled tab at the top of the screen.
You'll see a list of your active recurring gifts, displaying:
- The Fund Name (for example, General Fund or Missions)
- Donation amount
- Frequency (weekly, monthly, and so on)
- Next gift date
- The Payment Method being used
How to Edit a Recurring Gift
- Go to the Scheduled tab.
- Find the recurring gift you want to update and click Edit.
- Update any of the following details:
- Donation amount
- Frequency (weekly, monthly, and so forth)
- Next scheduled date
- Fund designation
- Payment method
- Click Save to apply your changes.
Note: Updating your payment information doesn't automatically apply to existing scheduled gifts. You must edit each recurring gift individually to assign the new payment method.
How to Cancel a Recurring Gift
- Go to the Scheduled tab.
- Find the recurring gift you want to stop and click the Delete button or trash icon next to it.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
You'll receive an email confirmation once the cancellation is successful.
Important: Once canceled, the donation will no longer process. You can always set up a new recurring gift later if you change your mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pause a recurring gift instead of canceling it?
No, but you can change the next donation date to delay it. Edit the gift and adjust the date as needed.
Will my past donations be deleted if I cancel?
No. Canceling stops future transactions, but your giving history remains visible in your account.
Can I set up more than one recurring gift?
Absolutely. You can create multiple recurring gifts to support different funds or organizations.
What happens if a payment fails?
You'll be notified via email. Update your payment method and the system will retry the donation.
Can I change my payment method on a recurring gift?
Yes. Edit the gift in the Scheduled tab and select a new payment method.
When will my recurring gift process if scheduled weekly?
Weekly donations process on the day you scheduled (for example, every Sunday) rather than all at once.
Pro Tip: Review your recurring gifts every few months to make sure they still reflect your intentions. If you set up a gift as anonymous, you'll need to log into your donor profile to manage it.
