Kuukausilahjoitus

Kuukausilahjoitus is a Finnish term that translates to "monthly donation." It refers to a recurring contribution made by an individual to a charitable organization or non-profit entity on a regular monthly basis. This type of donation is a common fundraising method for many organizations as it provides a predictable and stable source of income.

Individuals who choose to make a kuukausilahjoitus typically set up an automatic payment, often through their bank account or a credit card, to be transferred to the organization each month. The amount of the donation can vary widely, with donors often selecting an amount they can comfortably afford on a consistent basis. Many organizations offer different levels of monthly giving, sometimes with associated benefits or recognition for the donor.

The advantages of a kuukausilahjoitus for charitable organizations include improved financial planning and the ability to undertake long-term projects and programs with greater certainty. For the donor, it offers a convenient way to support a cause they believe in without needing to remember to make individual donations frequently. It also allows for a more impactful contribution over time compared to sporadic, smaller donations. The term is specific to the Finnish context but the concept of monthly recurring donations is a global fundraising practice.
