You probably already know, but it bears some discussion of terminology since there are many gifts that fall under the broad designation of "recurring giving.". Their gift has no end date, and it could be monthly, quarterly, or annual. Different organizations may call these gifts by different names, and that's okay.

It would be foolish not to leverage a free marketing platform for your organization, but it’s important to keep in mind that posting content just for the sake of it isn’t going to produce results. Similarly to posting pictures, this will help donors better understand the impact of their gift. Instead of simply posting “Donate now!”
