Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!

$2 per month X 12 months = $24 for a year's worth of supporting a fine organization.
$24 once a year is still $24 and does the same in supporting a fine organization for a year.
I see no difference...it's the same way I make my house payments...once a year and the bank doesn't mind.
I "get" the point about spreading out cash flow....just don't criticize the revenue stream and everyone should be happy.

Using your simplified numbers, how does NFOA make a budget when that person donating $24 a year is not signed up for a constant donation? Make a budget and hope that that money comes in? That is why it is great that people sign up for smaller monthly amounts, I understand what you're saying, you're in an agreement to pay the bank. A yearly donator has no obligation to ever pay again. A monthly donator doesn't either, cancel at anytime. But a constant inflow of cash is better that a RANDOM influx yearly.

zofoman,
Your donation is GREATLY appreciated. Whatever the reason, if you choose to donate periodically instead of monthly, then that is GREAT and fine by me.
There are two primary reasons I started this plea...
1) I was hoping that if members realized they could set up a low monthly payment instead of one larger lump sum, it would be less painful and thus more appealing to the vast majority.
2) As Jutty has already said, a constant flow of cash makes it easier for the board of directors to plan their long term strategy.
Once again, whatever manner you decide to donate by is fine by me and THANK YOU for supporting the NFOA.

Jutty, I am with Zofoman on this, I resist those auto-withdrawal things like the plague.
I would much prefer to donate when I am ready, than have one scheduled.
I'm sure it is some kind of weird control thing for me, but everyone is different.
Fly, I am enjoying your creative pleading, keep it up...

Greg,
How are you with "Auto-payments", as in your bank makes an automatic payment? That would get you in the club too. ;D
Having your bank send a payment from your account sounds better than someone taking a payment from your account.
