How do recurring donations work for fundraisers

A recurring donation is a monthly contribution that is automatically billed each month. On Sowfund, donors can choose to support fundraisers through recurring giving, allowing them to consistently contribute toward a specific goal over time.

Unlike supporting an individual missionary, Sowfund fundraisers are time-bound and remain open only until their set end date. Once a fundraiser reaches its end date, all recurring donations for that fundraiser will automatically stop.

There are also other situations where a recurring donation may end earlier than expected:

1. 1
   Fundraiser goal is reached: If the fundraiser reaches its funding goal before the deadline, it will automatically close and stop accepting additional donations, including recurring contributions.
2. 2
   Early fundraiser closure: If the missionary ends the fundraiser early, recurring donations will also stop. Even in these cases, you can be assured that all funds already collected will still be used for their intended ministry purpose.
