What is monthly giving?

Monthly giving is an affordable and easy way to support Friendship Force. When you become a monthly donor you set an amount that will be deducted from your bank account on a specific day each month. This donation will continue seamlessly until you are ready for it to stop. You can stop your donation any time by logging into DonorBox or by contacting our support team at [email protected].

Why is monthly giving so important?

Monthly giving makes budgeting more predictable for nonprofits. While unexpected donations are great and always welcome, recurring donations make monthly financial planning easier. Also, as a monthly donor, you know that you are consistently supporting a nonprofit you love in a huge way.
