Recurring Giving
Monthly donors who stay.
Turn one-time gifts into recurring ones, recover the payments that fail, and give donors a better option than cancelling.
Start more monthly gifts
Ask at the moment donors decide.
After a donor picks a one-time amount, the form can suggest a monthly gift instead, sized to what they chose.
- You set the monthly suggestion for each one-time range.
- Donors who already chose recurring skip it.
- Recurring options on every giving form.
Keep every gift
A declined card shouldn’t end a gift.
Past-due donors meant to keep giving, and an expired card is usually all that’s in the way. Givable retries the charge and asks the donor to update their card, so an expired card doesn’t quietly cost you a supporter.
- Retry failed charges on the schedule you set.
- A grace period before a gift is marked past due.
- Emails when a charge fails, a gift is past due, or it’s cancelled.
At a glance
Know your monthly program’s health.
See every schedule and its status, and the few numbers that matter: how many are active, what they bring in each month, and which ones need attention.
- Active schedules, MRR estimate, and cancel rate.
- At risk: past-due, failed, and lapsed gifts to follow up on.
- Each charge recorded as a gift on the donor’s record.
In the supporter portal
Donors manage their own gifts.
You decide what donors can change. Giving them control usually keeps more gifts than it loses.
Change the amount
Donors raise or lower their gift themselves, within the limits you set.
Update the card
A new card keeps the gift running, with no email to your team.
Pause, then resume
Offer preset pause lengths, and the gift starts again on its own.
Split across funds
Let donors change which funds their gift supports, or keep that to your team.
Your cancel flow
Let donors cancel directly, offer a pause or smaller gift first, or ask them to contact you.
The right emails
Automatic emails when a charge fails, a gift is past due, paused, or starts again.
Recurring Giving questions
Which recurring frequencies can donors choose?
Weekly, every two weeks, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual. You choose which ones your forms offer.
What happens when a recurring payment fails?
Givable retries the charge on the schedule you set, emails the donor so they can update their card, and marks the gift past due during a grace period you choose. If retries run out, the gift is marked lapsed, so you can follow up.
Can donors change or cancel their own recurring gift?
Yes, in your supporter portal. You decide what they can do there: change the amount, update the payment method, pause, or cancel. For cancellations, you can let donors cancel directly, offer a pause or a smaller gift first, or show a message asking them to contact you.
How do I see which monthly donors are at risk?
The recurring list shows active schedules, an estimate of monthly recurring revenue, your cancel rate, and how many gifts are at risk because a charge is failing or retries have run out.
