Quick answer

Use it to capture recurring-gift intent — amount, frequency, term, and how to stop or change it — without taking any payment details; a fundraiser then sets up the actual gift in your processor, and the pledge list stays honest.

About this template

Monthly giving grows from a yes, not a card number. This form captures the intent cleanly — how much, how often, how long, and how to stop or change it — without touching payment details; a fundraiser then sets up the recurring gift in your actual processor. One honest pledge list beats a thousand ambiguous well-wishers.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should you ask for a monthly pledge rather than a one-time gift?
After the second gift, roughly — donors who give repeatedly convert best; this form catches the intent right when it's warm.
Does this collect any payment?
No. It records intent only: amount, rhythm, term, exit rules. No card or bank fields — the recurring gift itself is set up in your payment processor during confirmation.
How is this different from the donation record form?
That form logs gifts that already happened; this one registers intent for gifts that will keep happening.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace, set your funds and amount bands, and reuse across campaigns.
What stops a pledge from fizzling?
The confirmation window on every entry — a pledge without a scheduled human follow-up within a week is a statistic, not income.
Can donors change their mind later?
Yes; the exit-rules acknowledgment tells them how, and your team updates the entry instead of losing it.
