Monthly Recurring Giving Program
We want to make giving as simple as possible for you
Giving Made Easy
The Portsmouth Abbey School Monthly Giving Program offers a simple and convenient way to make regular monthly contributions to the Abbey that are posted to your credit card or checking account.
Portsmouth Abbey is very grateful for each gift we receive, and we want to make it as simple as possible for you to support the Abbey. The Monthly Giving Program means that each month, for the cost of a couple of lattes or a pint of gourmet ice cream, you could make your gift to Portsmouth Abbey.
Giving through the Monthly Giving Program means you bypass Annual Fund appeals, saving the Abbey money that can be directed to important on-campus programs. Since your gift is spread out over the course of the year, you essentially support Portsmouth Abbey all year long, and by making your commitment early in the giving year, you're already counted among Portsmouth Abbey's most valued donors.
In addition, you may find you are able to give a more significant gift to the Abbey because your gift is divided into manageable monthly increments.

Take advantage of giving by credit card and possibly earn bonuses like Frequent Flyer Miles. Save the time and effort of sending gifts through the mail. Have the flexibility to make a larger gift to Portsmouth Abbey, since you can budget payments monthly. Lessen the amount of fundraising mail and phone calls you receive from Portsmouth Abbey.
How Does This Program Help Portsmouth Abbey?
