Monthly giving: how it works and how to cancel

Give a fixed amount each month through World Aid Network: how billing works, how to change or cancel, and how monthly Sadaqah differs from annual Zakat.

By World Aid NetworkUpdated 3 min readHow we check guides

The quick answer

A monthly gift is a fixed amount you give each month by card, as Sadaqah by default. Your first payment is taken at checkout, then the same amount each month until you cancel. A monthly Sadaqah gift does not settle your annual Zakat.

Hands holding dates to share

What a monthly gift is

You choose an amount and a cause: eye surgery, cancer treatment, emergency relief or where most needed. A gift to a chosen cause stays with that cause. Monthly gifts started from this page are Sadaqah, voluntary giving with no fixed amount or date.

How billing works

Your first payment is taken at checkout. After that, the same amount is charged each month until you cancel. Card payments run through Stripe Checkout, so your card details never reach our servers. Gift Aid is not available.

Changing or cancelling

Monthly gifts continue each month until you cancel. Manage or cancel any time at worldaidnetwork.org/manage-giving or email [email protected].

Manage giving uses a secure Stripe email sign-in, on the same Stripe account as this site. Cancelling stops future payments; it does not refund earlier gifts.

Monthly gifts and annual Zakat

Zakat is assessed once a year on your Zakat date. A monthly Sadaqah gift does not become Zakat later. If the approach you follow permits paying Zakat in advance, you can spread it monthly and reconcile the total on your Zakat date: see paying Zakat in instalments. To work out the annual amount, use the Zakat calculator.

What a monthly amount adds up to

£17 a month is £204 over a year towards eye care; actual treatment costs vary. A suggested amount is a contribution to care, not a guaranteed outcome.
