Provide ongoing support with recurring monthly donations

Donors will be charged each month on the same day as their original donation, or the next closest day. For example, if you make your original donation on 20th June, you'll be charged again on 20th July. If you make a donation on the 31st, and the next month only has 30 days, you'll be charged on the 30th.

For donors, yes. For organisers, no – our pricing remains the same. It’s always free to start and manage your fundraiser on GoFundMe.  As a donor, if you choose recurring donations, there’s a recurring fee of 5% per donation in addition to our transaction fee of 2.9% + £0.25 per donation. This helps us make recurring donations safe and effective while ensuring GoFundMe remains free for people who start a fundraiser. For additional information on our fees, check out our pricing page.

Of course! We know circumstances can change, so donors can cancel their recurring donation at any time. Donors can cancel their recurring donation from their monthly email receipt of the charge or from within the "Your impact" section of their GoFundMe account.

To cancel your recurring donation from your GoFundMe account:

1. Log in to your GoFundMe account, or click "manage or cancel your monthly donation" from your donation receipt
2. Under "Your impact", scroll to “Fundraisers you support”
3. Toggle to “Your donations” then click “Receipt” under the recurring donation you’d like to cancel
4. Select "Cancel" under "Donation type" and then confirm your cancellation

To cancel your recurring donation from your email receipt:

1. Click "manage or cancel your monthly donation" from your donation receipt
2. Select "Cancel" under "Donation type" and then confirm your cancellation

Cancelling your recurring donation only prevents future charges and won't refund previous monthly contributions.  Cancellation will be effective for any recurring donation scheduled later than 24 hours after cancellation. If a recurring donation is scheduled within 24 hours of your cancellation, please see information on submitting a refund request below.

If the organiser closes a fundraiser you're supporting with monthly donations, your recurring donation will be automatically cancelled. If you notice you aren't being charged for your monthly donation, you can confirm the cancellation under "Your impact" within your GoFundMe account.

If you unintentionally made a recurring donation, we'll be happy to help with a refund. Additionally, if you cancel your recurring donation too late, we can help refund your most recent charge. You can submit a refund request with this form.

There’s no difference in how you’ll receive funds from one-off and recurring donations. As long as you’ve set up and verified your transfers, you’ll receive funds as they process. Remember, transfers take 2-5 business days to reach your bank account once initiated. 

Recurring donations won’t change any fees for GoFundMe organisers. It’s always free to start and manage a GoFundMe fundraiser – the donations you raise will have the industry-standard transaction fees deducted from each donation as they’re made. 

There’s an additional 5% fee for donors that’s charged at checkout, but this won’t affect the funds organisers receive. Check out our pricing page for more information 

Not to worry! We’ll cancel any recurring donations for your fundraiser on our end, so GoFundMe organisers won’t need to take any additional action. We do still encourage you to post a final update letting donors know that the fundraiser is closing, and it’s a good idea to add a bit about how you used their generous donations.
