Description

The Recurring Donations addon adds to donation campaigns a stream of recurring contributions, with a checkbox to convert a donation into a monthly one, a tabbed interface for recurring amounts, and a selection of weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual frequency. In Charitable, this module helps NGOs, churches, schools, and social projects convert single donations into predictable revenue, keeping separate email receipts for the first contribution and each renewal.
