A recurring gift is an ongoing gift, of a specified amount determined by a donor, that is charged to a credit card monthly. When making a gift online, you will be presented with the option to convert your donation into a recurring gift. Then each month on the date specified, your recurring gift will process and you will be notified.
Your gift will continue to be processed on the specified date each month until you ask us to cancel the gift. You may cancel a recurring charge at any time by sending an email to giftprocessing@ndsufoundation.com. Include your full name, your email address, and the date you would like to discontinue your recurring charge to the NDSU Foundation.
