Keep in mind that if you’re part of a workplace match program, the program will come with a match limit. This means your employer will match your contributions up until a certain point. They will let you know what this limit is and we’ll remind you in the app.

What are recurring contributions?

Setting up a recurring contribution is a great way to save money for future donations.
