Four-year pledge with first payment in future fiscal year

This article covers gifts made through GiveCampus. Payment and recurring-gift options depend on the institution and the form.

Enter the total commitment, annual frequency where offered, first payment date in the intended fiscal year and final date spanning four annual installments; verify the displayed payment count/amount before submission. If merely recording an intention without payment authorization, use the offered Remind me about fulfilling my pledge at a later date option when payment information is not required. A fiscal-year label alone is not an exact charge date; choose the actual calendar date.

Prefill a pledge payment date or installment schedule

Pledge forms support autofill for a single payment date (payment_date), or for multiple payments using first_installment, last_installment, and installment_frequency. Use Tracking & Analytics → Links & Appeal Codes → Generate Autofill Links and add each available field with Insert this field into the URL. The total pledge amount can be prefilled with value. Monthly or yearly installments must be enabled on the form, and dates must be within the form’s allowed range. These pledge fields remain visible and editable; the builder does not offer hiding them.

See Autofill pledge payment dates and installment schedules for step-by-step instructions, CSV uploads, examples, and troubleshooting.
