A Monthly Donation to Cancer Research Could Make Cures Possible
During Tax Season, you might be thinking of ways to give back to your favorite charities or how you can support causes that are important to you. One of the most useful ways to support an organization is by becoming a monthly donor. It’s no secret that many non-profits are struggling to raise money right now, and donors are spread thin trying to help multiple organizations. By scheduling a monthly donation to NFCR, you can:
- Help us better plan for the future by allowing us to more accurately budget our grants and sponsorships of scientists for this upcoming year.
- Focus less on remembering to send in a gift each month by scheduling automatic monthly payments. Instead of setting reminders for yourself or waiting for a solicitation in the mail, you can set up a monthly payment online and not have to worry about forgetting to make your donation.
- Split your total yearly payment up into smaller amounts, making it friendlier on your wallet. Not everyone has the ability to give a lump sum during the year, so by splitting your gift into 12 payments, it makes less of an impact on your monthly budget.
According to Charity Engine, monthly giving has increased from 46% of donors to 57% over the past year, and that number is expected to increase further throughout 2026. Monthly donors are increasing for organizations across the country because donors want to show their long-term commitment and support of an organization. They help sustain non-profits, hence why we call our monthly donors Sustainers and Champions for a Cure!
Jumpstart your Support
To make a monthly gift to NFCR, you can go to the donate page on our website, enter the amount you would like to give monthly, and then make sure to select the monthly tab at the top of the form. You will receive an email confirming your monthly donation, as well as an email every month letting you know your donation has been processed successfully or has failed to go through (you can turn this feature off if you would like).
