Recurring Gifts

Recurring gifts are gifts paid at regular intervals, such as a monthly gift of $50. Recurring gifts received through Blackbaud Donation Forms process automatically according to the frequency the donor chooses.

After a donation form submits a recurring gift, the commitment appears in Contributions as a recurring gift plan. When the payment processes, the payment appears as a recurring gift payment.

From a recurring gift plan, you can:

• View details, such as the donor’s contact information and payment method.

• Edit details, such as frequency and amount for future payments.

• Pause, Resume, or End Recurring Gift Payments.

• Resolve failed recurring gift payments.

• Cancel covered fees from future payments.

View and edit a recurring gift plan by selecting its amount from Contributions, Recurring gift plans.

Warning: To avoid duplicate recurring gift payments in Blackbaud CRM, don't generate payments for recurring gifts that originate from Online Giving. In Blackbaud CRM, exclude payments with a revenue ID that starts with "OG-RG" in the selection for your recurring gift generate payments processes.

Tip: You can enable recurring gifts on donation forms.
