# Does WeGive Automatically Increase Recurring Gift Amounts Over Time?

> WeGive Help Center article: Does WeGive Automatically Increase Recurring Gift Amounts Over Time?

## Overview

A common question from organizations looking to grow recurring revenue
over time: can WeGive automatically increase a donor's recurring gift
amount each year by a set percentage (for example, "+5% every year")
without the donor taking any action?

**No — WeGive does not have an automatic recurring-amount-escalation
feature today.** There is no setting, schedule, or background process
that raises an existing recurring plan's amount on its own.

## What WeGive does have: a one-time conversion prompt

WeGive's checkout includes a **recurring-conversion prompt** — a
one-time screen shown to a one-time donor at the moment they complete
their gift, inviting them to start (or adjust) a recurring plan at a
percentage of the amount they just gave (for example, "give 10% of this
amount monthly instead"). This prompt:

* Appears **once**, at the moment of checkout conversion.
* Lets the donor choose from percentage/frequency options your
  organization configures.
* Has no further effect once the donor accepts or declines it — it does
  not run again against an already-existing recurring plan, and it is
  not a recurring, periodic increase.

This is the closest feature WeGive has to "percentage-based recurring
giving," but it's a one-time upsell moment, not an ongoing escalation
mechanism.

## What this means for your organization

If you want to encourage donors to increase their recurring gifts over
time, today that requires a manual or communications-driven approach —
for example:

* Periodically reaching out to recurring donors and asking them to
  update their plan amount themselves (from the donor portal or by
  request to your team).
* Using your own outreach/email campaigns to prompt an increase, then
  having staff or the donor make the change in WeGive.

An existing recurring plan's amount only ever changes when a donor or
staff member explicitly edits it — WeGive does not do this
automatically on any schedule.
