Grow sustainable income with Give A Little recurring monthly donations

At Give A Little, we’re committed to making digital fundraising simple, flexible, and accessible for every charitable organisation. Our regular giving features provide powerful ways to help charitable organisations to grow sustainable, predictable income - even in a challenging economic climate.

Our regular giving tools include

Inflationary Giving

Direct Debit
as a new payment method for monthly donations and we’re showcasing how secure,
tokenized recurring card payments
are helping charities maintain steady donor support even when cards expire, are lost or stolen.

Inflationary Giving: Automatically maintain the real value of donations

Rising living costs reduce the real-world value of charitable donations over time.

To help safeguard recurring monthly income, Give A Little has launched

Inflationary Giving
- a feature that allows donors to automatically increase their monthly gift each year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

How Inflationary Giving works

  • Easy setup for charitable organisations:
    Simply enable monthly recurring donations when creating your Give A Little campaign.

  • Donor opt-in:
    Donors can select Inflationary Giving when setting up a monthly donation or adjust the setting anytime in the donor portal.

  • Annual CPI update:
    Each November, Give A Little applies the latest CPI uplift for the year ahead.

  • Full transparency and control:
    Donors are notified before any change and can opt out or modify their gift at any time.

This feature directly aligns with recommendations from the

, which encourages donors to increase regular gifts in line with inflation. By making this process simple and automatic, charitable organisations can protect the long-term value of their income and continue delivering vital services without falling behind rising costs.

Flexible, reliable payment methods for recurring monthly donations

Secure, tokenized recurring card donations

Recurring card donations through Stripe are secure and highly reliable.

If a donor’s card expires, is lost, or replaced, Stripe’s network tokenization and card updater services (with Visa, Mastercard, and other networks) work to automatically update the card credentials. When successful, the recurring payment continues seamlessly, avoiding failed payments or donor drop-off

Direct Debit (New!)

Give A Little now supports

Direct Debit
for recurring online donations and QR code giving (via Stripe).

This familiar and trusted payment method complements card-based giving and allows donors to donate directly from their bank account.

Enhanced donor portal and richer reporting

We’ve redesigned the Give A Little donor portal to improve donor experience and engagement. Donors can now:

  • Adjust monthly donation amounts

  • Change payment dates

  • Switch payment methods

  • Manage Inflationary Giving preferences

Charitable organisations also gain access to a new

recurring donations report
, offering insights into:

  • Donor retention

  • Monthly income trends

  • Total uplift generated through Inflationary Giving

This data helps organisations better understand, manage, and grow their recurring revenue streams.
