First Available Start Date

Whether "today" is available as a start date depends on what time it is when you set up your donation.

• 🕚 Before 12:00 PM (local time): Today's date will appear as an option.

• 🕐 After 12:00 PM (local time): Your earliest option will be tomorrow (or a later date of your choosing).

How Far in Advance You Can Schedule

Want more flexibility? You can also schedule your start date further in advance:

• Weekly Frequency: Up to 5 calendar days in advance

• Monthly Frequency: Up to 30 calendar days in advance

When Your Card Will Be Charged

If You Select Today

🗓 Your first charge will process later that same day.

• If you're setting up your gift in the morning, it'll typically go through during our morning processing window (Central time).

• If you start a bit later in the morning, it may process shortly after that window closes.

If You Select Tomorrow (or a Future Date)

• 🗓 Your first charge will process on your chosen start date, generally between 6:00–7:00 AM CT.

• After that first charge, your donation will continue automatically according to your chosen schedule. No further action needed on your part!

  

Moving From Another Giving Platform?

If you have a recurring gift set up on your organization's previous giving platform:

1. Cancel your existing recurring gift on the other platform.

2. On Overflow, choose a start date as close as possible to your next scheduled gift. This helps make sure you're not charged twice for the same donation!
