1. Boost your impact
When you choose to make a monthly gift, you boost your impact. Recurring donations compound over time, creating a more significant impact in the long run. Even a modest monthly contribution will build up to substantial support over the course of a year, or several years.
2. Provides a reliable income
When we have a predictable flow of reliable revenue, we can respond more quickly, frequently and effectively to disasters as they emerge. Monthly donors enable us to work even harder to fulfil our mission.
3. It's flexible and convenient
You set up your gift, and then you don’t have to do anything until you want to make changes. You’re in control. You can change the amount, the time of the month, your payment information or stop anytime you want. Giving monthly also means you get one consolidated receipt at the end of year – much easier to manage then multiple one-time gifts!
4. Set it and forget it
Monthly donations are automatic. That means once you sign up, you won’t have to worry about remembering to support Airdrie Public Library. Simply enter your credit card information once and you’re all set — the only thing you have to do from there is check in to see the great work that’s being done because of your support!
5. It lowers administrative costs
Automated monthly donations require fewer administrative tasks linked to one-time gifts, like issuing receipts for example. But beyond that, with each new monthly donor, we reduce the need to seek out multiple donors individually. Reducing our costs means more of every dollar goes to work where it matters the most.
