What is monthly giving?
Monthly giving is a recurring donation: you choose an amount once, and it is given automatically on the same day each month until you change or stop it. Charities also call it a recurring donation, a sustaining gift or a monthly donor program.
At 1 Million Hearts the monthly gift starts at $1. You can give more, and you can make a one-time donation instead, but the dollar a month is the heart of what we do.
Why small monthly donations matter
A charity that knows what is coming next month can plan. A hundred people giving a dollar every month is steadier than one person giving a hundred dollars once.
Small donations also add up faster than they look. One million people each giving $1 a month is $12 million a year. That is the goal behind our name, and every person who joins makes it easier for the next person to say yes.
How a monthly gift works here
Choose an amount on the donate page and pay by card in a secure form provided by Stripe. You are charged on the day you start, and then on the same day each month.
A receipt is emailed for every payment. Your account, which you sign in to with an emailed link and no password, shows every gift and the date of your next one. From there you can change the amount, update your card or cancel. A cancellation takes effect straight away.
Is a monthly donation tax-deductible?
1 Million Hearts is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 88-2016265. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you receive no goods or services in exchange. Your account can print a summary of your giving for any year. For advice about your own taxes, ask a tax professional.
