Had already donated; but learning this prompted me to add a monthly donation as well.
What makes it qualify as a 12-month-pledge though, as opposed to an indefinite-period-direct-debit? I didn’t see any language to that effect. Is there a super-secret form I should have used?
When I called the contact number, they said I should use the monthly donation method, and it would be counted as such. I asked if I should put it in the comment field, and they said that would help clarify things. My comment read, “I pledge to donate $X per month for 12 months.”
The only place I ever saw it mentioned was a small sentence in an email that went out only to those on the SingInst mailing list. I don’t know if they planned on doing it that way from the start, especially since they didn’t seem to think about or realize the logistical problems around ‘making a pledge’, or monitoring follow-through (what happens if someone cancels after one month?), etc.
