What is a monthly donation?
A monthly donation is a recurring donation, meaning that it is made at regular time periods. As the name implies, a monthly donation is made every month; on the Fundky Platform, donors can choose to make their payment on either the 1st or the 15th of each month.
Monthly giving on Fundky is also automatic: the donation amount will be withdrawn by the system automatically on the chosen date.
Who can use monthly giving, and how?
All organizations with a Fundky Platform can offer the monthly giving option to their community!

On the Fundky Platform, monthly donations are available for all types of organizations, whether you are a business, a registered foundation or a non-profit organization.
The only difference is that CRA-approved organizations can also issue donation receipts for monthly donations! In this case, an official receipt is automatically emailed to all monthly donors just before tax time.

Why should I offer monthly giving on my Platform?
Monthly donations are THAT important to your cause!
Not only do they guarantee you a steady income, they are also very beneficial for your donors.
They’re quick and super easy
Making a monthly donation on Fundky only takes a few seconds!
In just 3 steps, add your donation information, your personal information and your payment information. Once the donation is confirmed, the amount will be debited automatically at the chosen time.
100% automated
Once a monthly donation is scheduled, everything is done automatically! The donation will be debited automatically each month, and the money will be sent directly to the organization.
Offering automated recurring donations not only means less management for your organization, but also for your donors!
Strengthen commitment to the cause
One-time donations are often triggered by an emotion: after seeing a post on social media, hearing someone close to you talk about the cause, during a fundraiser or an event…
That’s where monthly donations come into play: they are an excellent entry point while emotions are high, but allow for a lasting and reliable commitment to your cause.
Identify your long-time supporters
With monthly giving, you can also identify donors in your community who are very involved with your cause and highlight their commitment.
For example, if you have a loyalty program, special communications or events to recognize the involvement of donors, your monthly contributors are a great place to start.
