On road trips as a child my dad would frequently joke that if we drove long enough we’d eventually find a pledge drive on a local NPR station.

When you know the end date and the total amount committed, it's a pledge, rather than a sustaining gift. A specific type of pledge is an installment gift - the constituent makes a pledge to give a specified total amount, but chooses to pay in a series of installments. Author: Sally Heaven.
