You can now schedule recurring gifts with the new Every 4 weeks frequency. When you add or edit a recurring gift, you can choose this frequency and the gift will be processed every 4 weeks exactly, which allows you to collect a 13th installment. This new frequency option is supported on the following parts:
One benefit of the new frequency is that it enables donors to schedule an additional installment per year. Previously, donors could select the Monthly option, which allowed for a maximum of 12 gift installments per year. The new Every 4 weeks frequency option enables users to schedule another installment — for a maximum of 13 — per year.
As with other recurring gift frequencies, the Every 4 weeks installment frequency information from donation transactions on these forms in Blackbaud Internet Solutions is downloaded and written to Blackbaud CRM through the Enhanced Revenue Batch.
