A recurring gift program not only allows the non-profit organization you support to keep their operations up-and-running, but also provides you with lasting benefits.
Take a look below to understand why supporting an organization like Easterseals Southern California with a monthly charitable gift benefits everyone involved. To learn more about Easterseals year-end giving campaign, visit our 2024 Empowerment Campaign webpage.
Seven Reasons Why Monthly Giving is Mutually Beneficial:
Easterseals Southern California is one of the leading providers for disability services in Southern California, serving 25,000 children and adults through community and disability programs. By committing to a monthly gift of any donation amount, you are not only furthering our services and programs, but you’re making our communities more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities. Below, explore reasons why monthly giving may be the best donation strategy:
-
Monthly giving is easy and convenient.
When you opt for a monthly contribution, you will not have to worry about a thing. Monthly gifts are automatically processed each month and automatic deductions are the easiest, most hassle-free way to make sure your donations are being made on time
-
Monthly gifts provide reliable income.
Donations are a huge component of funding for many of our programs. When you give monthly, you ensure a stable foundation for Easterseals to comfortably seek out big-picture solutions that otherwise would not have been possible. Beyond the survival of our programs, monthly donors give way for longevity, allowing for our programs and services to truly flourish.
-
You will grow with us.
Whether it’s autism research, accessible technology devices, a music class for seniors, or making sure our facilities are in top shape, each month your gift will be utilized for the programs and services that need it the most. As we continue to expand, you will be right there with us, seeing your impact firsthand.
-
Contributions can be adjusted.
You are free to increase, decrease, cancel, or put a temporary stop on your contribution at any time. You can even pick which day of the month to give.
-
Greater tax benefits for you.
Over the course of a year, regular monthly donations can add up to substantial potential tax deductions. Once tax season rolls around, you’ll be so glad you signed up for a monthly giving plan so you can reap the benefits of your tax-deductible charitable donation.
-
Monthly giving won’t break your bank account.
Monthly giving tends to be easier on your wallet. Instead of making a larger, one-time donation, spreading your contribution over several months allows you to allocate funds more comfortably within your budget. This consistent, smaller giving pattern minimizes the financial strain that a lump sum might pose. It transforms philanthropy into a sustainable habit, allowing you to provide ongoing support without sacrificing other financial responsibilities. Monthly giving makes generosity a sustainable and achievable endeavor.
-
You will build deeper relationships.
Monthly donations often foster a deeper, lasting connection between you and the organization you support. This can provide a sense of commitment to the cause as you begin to see the results of your contribution over time. Many of our recurring donors have become like ambassadors for us in the community, and we are so grateful for these partnerships.
