Pledge Payment Schedules

When a donor makes a pledge, they generally indicate how many payments they will make to fulfill the pledge and how often they will make them. Pledge payment schedules are defined on the Pledge Payment Schedule window and are stored on the Pledge Payment Definition table.

Payment schedules contain the number of payments per year. When you enter a pledge for a donor on the system, you choose the payment schedule that fits their intention. If one does not exist, you can create a new payment schedule at that time or use an existing one and customize it for that person.

The five (5) pledge payment schedules in the table below are pre-defined in the system and cannot be deleted or changed; however, you can create additional ones.
