Year-End Deadlines
Pledges are designed to set up a payment schedule, not to exceed five years, for a specified donation. Example: you want to pay $50 per month for 4 years, for a total gift pledge amount of $2,400. Pledges should not include the anticipated matching gift portion; one‘s pledge represents the intended out-of-pocket gift only. Matching gifts are recorded separately from out-of-pocket gifts.
Recurring gifts are periodic payments set up for an indefinite length of time. You may specify whether gifts are made monthly, quarterly, or annually, and must notify us when you want them to stop. Example: you want to set up an automatic gift of $50 a month until you decide otherwise.
