A recurring gift is a regular, ongoing gift of a designated amount, which is usually processed automatically at regular intervals at the payment gateway.

To create an online recurring gift or pledge, scroll through the areas of giving page and select the fund you wish to support. After providing your recurring gift amount, select the recurring payment option. You can then select the frequency of your gift (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Annually). To make your gift a close-ended pledge, you can also define the number of payments (for instance, to pledge $200 over 2 years, you could make a recurring, quarterly gift of $25 for 8 payments).

To designate a payroll deduction, download and complete this fillable form, sign, and forward to the university’s Gift Recorder at jmccoy@chapman.edu.
