Now that summer has come and gone it is easy to forget about others and think about the stress of back-to-school and vacation debt. For many people charitable giving is an important part of their life, however they seem to fall into the trap of “getting too busy”. A great way to ensure you reach your charitable giving goals is to make monthly donations, instead of waiting until the year-end and giving one lump sum. 
Giving this way has multiple benefits for a donor like you as well as Bissell Centre.
Here are five reasons to give monthly donations:
1. It helps charities to budget. Imagine you are creating your own budget: would it be easier to have a monthly salary, or simply hope for a bonus in December?
2. It is financially easier for most of us to part with $25 or $50 every month than give a lump sum of $300 or $600 at one time.
3. If you don’t give monthly, it’s easy to forget to do it completely.
4. Avoid paying the tax man just a little bit more!
5. You can easily set up automatic payments. Once you do this, you don’t need to fit it into your schedule or remember to do it.
