Regular Donations for Charities and Good Causes
Encourage supporters to give regularly and help build more predictable, longer-term income for your organisation or cause.
People's Fundraising donation pages can give supporters the opportunity to make recurring contributions as well as one-time gifts.
Promote regular giving through your dedicated donation page, link or QR code and make it easier for supporters to stay involved over time.
Build dependable income through regular giving
Regular donations can provide an organisation with a more dependable source of income than relying entirely on one-off fundraising campaigns.
Even modest recurring contributions can become significant when supporters continue to give month after month.
People's Fundraising lets regular giving sit alongside one-time donations and your wider fundraising activity, so supporters can choose the way they want to help.
